Critical response

Bioscope received positive reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film 4 stars out of 5 and was appreciative "It combines the power of short films with the reputation of the directors to give something that is much needed in the industry; the scope for fearless experimentation. Come what may, don’t miss this one".[7] Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times also gave it 4 stars out of 5 and similarly found that "Every Marathi mind should take note of these efforts made by these four directors. This experiment of making a film on poetry should also be appreciated".[8] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "It is easily accessible and maybe suggests a new direction for Marathi Cinema - the possible merging of the blockbuster with the art-house".[9] Jayanti Waghdhare of Zee News gave the film a rating of 3.5/5 and wrote "This experiment is being seen for the first time in Marathi cinema. 'Icing on the cake' means Gulzar's voice from the movie Bioscope. These poems have been presented in the voice of Gulzar himself".[10] A reviewer from Loksatta wrote "All these four short films in Bioscope. Gulzar's poetic description of the bioscope at the beginning of the film seems to be very useful".[11]
