Critical response
[edit]Nivdung film received negative reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Bhushan seriously needs to choose better movies. It would be a shame if his potential goes waste due to bad choices. Sanskruti does the standard village bimbette stuff although her role has scope for other things".[3] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "Nivdung is a simplistic, shallow melodrama, which is considerably inferior to the idea it springs from. Luckily, for the film, it’s not releasing against a major player in the field".[4] Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "When we say the name of this movie, we remember the old Nivdung. 'Ti geli tevha... Hridaynath Mangeshkar's music and grace's poetry".[5]
