Reception
[edit]Film Critic Subhash K. Jha Gave 4 stars out of 5 and writes in his review that "The film has a wispy glow in its eco-system. It whistles its way through complex communal questions, not out of naivete, but the opposite: sometimes it just seems correct to let positivity prevail. This is one of those occasions. Buoyed by a mood of optimism, Inn Galiyon Mein gives us no choice but to bask in its charm and warmth."[8]
Abhishek Srivastava of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "While it has its moments, an average screenplay limits its impact. More than a gripping narrative, it serves as a social commentary on cultural and religious dynamics. Given the subject’s potential, the film needed a more innovative script—without it, it leans into familiar tropes."[9] Risha Ganguly of Times Now gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Inn Galiyon Mein marries romance with contemporary social issues. The film did have the potential to make it an engaging and relevant watch. With compelling performances, a well-crafted narrative, and a strong directorial vision, a novel and fresh idea could have worked much better."[10]
Anuj Kumar of The Hindu wrote, "A film that demands to be heard rather than seen, in terms of form, it seems to be conceived like a dialogue-heavy piece for theatre. There are passages where it starts reading like an editorial on Ganga Jamuni tehzeeb interspersed with couplets of progressive poets. But, at 100 minutes, Inn Galiyon Mein doesn’t get stuck in the didactics."[1] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said "The film’s message of unity and harmony is timely, even if the execution falters. From a business standpoint, it remains to be seen whether audiences, already hesitant about visiting theaters, will take a chance on it. But films like these deserve to be made—offering stories that hold attention without relying on big names or chartbuster music."[11]
