A critic fromThe Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Kumari 21F has a relevant message about stereotyping, and the idea behind the attempt is commendable. The film could have been made a little sharper. Though, it does make a decent one-time watch if you like films that are different from the run-of-the-mill masala entertainers".[9] A critic fromChitraloka.com rated the film three-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "OverallKumari 21F is a special film for many reasons. It is one of those commercial films with a haunting message that should not be missed. A new hero has arrived and a new director has given an unusual film. It is now for the audience to appreciate it".[10]
