Critical response
[edit]Chintamani film received negative reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Clichéd dialogues and a predictable storyline are the major drawbacks in this film. The loose ends and unexplained addition of characters only adds to the woes".[4] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote " A pity because the failure of the film is not in the genre itself but the poor treatment it receives here".[5] A Reviewer of Maharashtra Times Wrote "The dialogue seems dull. The rest is 'thank you' on the levels of music and songwriting. The worst part is the length of the movie".[6] A Reviewer of Loksatta says "I don't understand the intention of the writer-director for showing such irrationality. Many pre-interval scenes make the movie boring and ridiculous".[7]
