Though the film is bagging big bucks at the box office, it got mixed reviews from the audience. Our reviewer Vibha Maru gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars. She wrote, "Chhichhore delivers an important message on exam pressure, quite literally, with Sushant enunciating the message in a speech just in case you didn't get it even after 2 hours of seeing the same. The film feels like a missed opportunity. Director Nitesh Tiwari had a subject that appealed to all generations, but he fails to create that magic that a memorable college drama should have had."
