Reception
Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Director Jayprad Desai has given us a pulsating human drama in the guise of a sports biopic". Pallabi Dey Purkayastha of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote " Unless you are venturing into the sports biopic genre with 'Kaun Pravin Tambe?'—let's be honest here—it will not leave you stupefied." Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "It pieces together a fascinating life story that is much more about dour tenacity than about flashy achievements and staggering statistics". Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Few Indian actors are as qualified to take on Pravin Tambe's biopic as the Hindi-Marathi star Shreyas Talpade who first attracted the national spotlight playing a deaf-mute cricketer in Nagesh Kukunoor's 2005 film Iqbal. Rohan Naahar of Indian Express rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Shreyas Talpade delivers an earnest performance in Hotstar's unmemorable cricket biopic, which feels like reading a dozen editions of the Wisden almanac back-to-back".
