Reception

Kennith Rosario of The Hindu wrote, "The film is self-aware of being an unrestrained comedy and maintains a light tone for grim subjects like death, coma and euthanasia but it also has its mawkish moments that could have been done without. Underneath the amateurish execution, sentimentality and clichés, lies an enjoyable fare best relished for the comic timing of its actors." Prasanna D Zore of Rediff.com gave the film 2.5 out of 5, writing, "Khajoor Pe Atke is a half baked satire on the selfish us that only partly exposes the darkness that lurks within every family." Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote, "There isn’t enough of a plot to extend over 119 minutes. With a tighter script and trimmer running time, Chhaya might have actually been on to something special."
