Reception

Reshma Raikwar from Loksatta wrote, "In the end, a good attempt has been made in the movie 'Satyashodak' to show how every good thought and movement takes root in the society and continues to move forward while keeping Jotib's valid idea that people die, thoughts don't die".[5] Ayub George from The Times of India stated, "Satyashodhak is an ideal historical biopic that takes you on a tour through time and showcases the greatness of a righteous man who was instrumental in changing our society".[6] Devendra Jadhav from Sakal opined, "Two and a half hours Jyoti – Savitri's life journey inspires us, awakens us and compels us to look beyond ourselves!!"[7]
