Reception
editA critic from Screen Daily wrote that "But while Mr Nagarkar is able to make a difference in Saguna’s life, the film ultimately paints a bleak picture for the other powerless women who depend on this gruelling work for survival".[4] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "So, if you are looking for a feel-good film to wash off the lockdown hangover, 'Bittersweet' may not be your best bet. But if meaningful cinema is on your agenda, Ananth Mahadevan’s film could be just what you needed".[5]
