Critical reception

edit

Veeyen for nowrunning.com commented, "Granted that the film talks of social issues that make criminals out of innocent young men and women, and the aftermath of an economic imbalance that without doubt prevails. But Shikhamani is a bummer of a film that leaves a series of disappointments in its wake".[1]
