Reception
editCritical response
editA critic from The Times of India scored the film at 4 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Prajwal Devaraj for his brilliant performance. Reema Vohra is simply superb. Harshika shines. Music by Abhiman Roy and camera by Jai Anand are impressive".[4] A critic from NDTV wrote "The highlight of the film is the climax and the sequences leading to it. Mahesh Rao has succeeded in narrating this important part of the film quite well".[5] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Abhiman Roy's music is soothing, but it is not compelling enough to make way into your mp3 players. Lighting and camera work add weightage to the film. Murli Meets Meera is a love story sans sleaze and compulsive romantic film watchers may consider giving the film a try".[6] Sunayana Suresh from DNA wrote "One does get the feeling that there could’ve been someone more seasoned to carry off the multi-layered character of Meera, played by Reema, which would have clinched it for the film. The story is breezy and is quite Gen Next. Good music and a nice storyline - go for this one".[7]
