Reception

The film was released on 9 December 2022 on the OTT platform, aha. A reviewer from Times of India noted "Rathasaatchi is definitely worth a watch for the story it tries to tell, but the makers could have concentrated a little more on its screenplay and conflicts to make it more interesting as a movie". A critic from Cinema Express wrote "despite sticking to the hero-rise-and-fall template, good writing choices and terrific performances keep us hooked". OTTPlay noted it was "an intense and hard-hitting drama about a rebellious leader backed by some terrific performances".
