Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta wrote: "There aren't a lot of songs, even though it is a love story, there is only one soft and catchy song like 'Tujya Sobtiche'. This film is a love story that will entertain you".Devendra Jadhav of Sakal wrote: "Even though everyone has tried to increase the glory of Phulrani by making sincere efforts in acting, something seems to be missing. Overall, there is no doubt that Priyadarshini–Subodh's Phulrani directed by Vishwas Joshi is definitely worth watching once".
Kalpeshraj Kubal of The Times of India wrote: "Though it may not have hit the bull's eye, Phulrani has an engaging story, melodious music and impactful performances that make for a good watch this week."
