Reception

Critical reception

A reviewer from Maharashtra Times rated two out of five stars and wrote "Although the movie is watchable once, it does not show much directorial skill. The screenplay does not seem to have been worked on seriously. As a result the cinema does not have a cohesive effect."[10]

A reviewer from Times Now wrote "With a strong cast coupled with a content-rich plot, creative direction and a strong cast at the Marathi box office, Aani baani is definitely a one-time watch."[11]
