Critical response

edit

Kho-Kho received mixed reviews from critics. A reviewer of The Times of India gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "With so much going for this film, there are some twists and turns in the second half and a Marathi asmita awakening dialogues, which though are justified and in parts fun too, they remind you of the film Mee Shivaji Raje Boltoy".[6] Jaydeep Pathak of Maharashtra Times gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "The mansion created using high production values, the polygonal lighting scheme used to underline the mystique of the mansion and the special effects all make Srirang's entanglement with his ancestors handsome on screen. Sudhakar Manjrekar's art direction has to be specially appreciated".[7] A reviewer of Loksatta wrote "The use of graphics, the film based on the plot of the drama, strong actors like Bharat, Siddharth, Kranti, all of them are not very good. This play, staged in the frame of the stage, is clearly messed up from the camera's point of view".[8]
