Diwakar Pyakurel from Online Khabar rated the film 4 out of 5 and mentioned "Even if this has apparent flaws and fails commercially, stakeholders of the Nepali film industry, the audience included, need to give it a sincere look and think about the different messages the film imparts – for both content and presentation."[9]

Rina Moktan from Kantipur wrote "The entry of narrators like director Bidari is a new hope for the film industry. With characters drawn from Nepali society, 'Ainaa Jhyal Ko Putali' can be called a story of Nepali soil. The film sector has got a good storyteller through 'Ainaa Jhyal Ko Putali', which has come close to the recognition of Nepali films."

Bhesraj Karki from Makalu Khabar wrote "Ainaa Jhyal Ko Putali is a story of a village, and it finish there, but it also serves to highlight the issues, charm, and potential of the city. The number of filmmakers in Nepal who use the same technique and original stories has increased over the last few years. It is appreciated, but this time the flavor is sweet and healthy."[10]
