Critical response
editKhairlanjichya Mathyawar received mixed reviews from critics. A reviewer in The Indian Express wrote "While, the story and screenplay is taut and does not slack, Meshram’s attempt to string the various incidents together in a fortright manner, gives one the feel of watching a documentary".[3] A reviewer in Divya Marathi wrote "Although the story is strong, the cinematography lacks grandeur due to poor editing".[4]
Controversy
editA petition seeking to ban the film's release was filed by Bhayyalal Bhotmange himself and Ravi Shende, convener of Akhil Bharatiya Dhammasena.[5] The petition claimed that his personality was wrongly presented in the film, and that some scenes tarnished the reputation of his daughter. As a result, a court cancelled the certificate given by the Censor Board and banned the film.[6] The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court upheld the ban.[7]
