Reception
A critic from The New Indian Express opined that "Kicchu gives an insight into deforestation, and its effects on people, but somehow, on the whole, a sensitive subject like this one seems to lack depth".[9] Guruprasad D. M. of Deccan Herald wrote that "Even with good intentions, Kicchu is dull, cliched and too flat on emotions".[10] Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 and stated that "Kichchu might not be a drama that keeps you in the edge of your seat, but it has its heart set in the right place".[11]
