That rapport with the actors and working with the same team probably helps in understanding the director’s vision and delivering a good film".[8] Dharmendra Thakur of Dainik Jagran gave the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "Music is the plus point of this film. The action sequences and cinematography of the film are also strong. From story, acting, direction and cinematography to music, Bahu is one. This film is going to set a new benchmark in Gujarati cinema, however Hindi remake proved to be more successful than Gujarati as there were many missing plot in 2023 movie".[9]
