Critical response
editYudh: Astitvachi Ladai film received negative reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote "To sum it up, Yudh could’ve been a good film but just about manages to be an average one".[5] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "Ultimately, there is no reason to question the intentions of the film, although it refuses to push the envelope, and ends up delivering a confused and convoluted message".[6] Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times gave the film 1 stars out of 5 and wrote "At no level does this film show its solid existence".[7] A reviewer from Loksatta wrote "This Yudh should be called a stray because it did not happen despite having a good scope".[8]
