Critical response
editPindadaan film received negative reviews from critics. Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "It is painful to see good resources wasted on obviously flawed projects when there is a dearth of funding for meaningful cinema".[6] Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "We were entertained while watching all this. But when we think about things, we get disappointed. Despite the good financial support, expensive costumes, glamorous actors, this 'daan' seems like a hobby only because the 'Daan' required for the film has not been completed".[5] Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta wrote "The last few minutes reveal many things from the first frame of the film. Then we have to be satisfied that what we saw had some meaning".[8]
