Reception Prachi Arya of India Today said "Rajni ki Baraat is not the baraat which would make you excitedly wait to dance in it. It feels like a film with its heart absolutely in the right place, even if its execution occasionally forgets the route to the venue." Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India wrote, "Rajni Ki Baraat manages to distinguish itself from the usual small-town Bollywood dramas with a thought-provoking climax that’s perhaps exactly the kind of social commentary a new India needs."
Pratik Shekhar from News18 Hindi said "'Rajini Ki Baraat' isn't just a typical love story between a boy and a girl, but rather the story of daughters from small towns in a changing India who now have the courage to challenge the walls of society's old-fashioned thinking for their rights, their love, and their decisions." A critic from Deccan Reviews said "Though it has its shortcomings, the concept and the commitment of Ulka Gupta makes it worth watching Rajni Ki Baraat. It was courageous to break away from the norm, though I wanted more story."
