Critical response
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". 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". 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".
