Reception

Saumitra Pote from Maharashtra Times opined, "On the whole, the movie is riveting because of the shock techniques in the movie. But, in social films like 'Jogwa', 'Pangira' and even the recent '72 Mile Ek Pravas', the director expressed his clear views without any pretense. In comparison, 'Vanshvel' is shaky". A critic of Divya Marathi wrote "Director Rajeev Patil has succeeded in presenting a disturbing x-ray of the social issue of female infanticide and the race's need for light. Not only this, it is always better to go and watch 'Vanshvel' in the theaters, which comments on husband-wife relationship, family system, equality between men and women". Rajesh from Prahaar stated "Since it is directed by Rajeev, every small and big thing has been carefully thought out. There is no name anywhere in it. This movie is a must watch for his direction."
