A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Every film has a USP [universal selling point] but Baapjanma has more than one. It is a team effort in the true sense of the term. This one is definitely worth a watch".[3] A critic from Cinestaan wrote that "Overall, Baapjanma is a fine entertainer that will move you".[4] A critic from Pune Mirror wrote that "Nipun Dharmadhikari carefully balances the plot, never letting it lose the seriousness of the premise, allowing the moments of laughter and reflection alternately".[5]
