Reception
The movie received a mixed to positive response largely praised for handling a subject hitherto not projected earlier in Marathi cinema, rather than for its storyline. Mihir Bhanage of Times of India wrote "The film has its flaws. It leaves quite a few questions unanswered and is unnecessarily stretched towards the end. Despite that, 'Phuntroo' is entertaining and will surely strike a chord with the younger lot. The film is a good weekend watch."5 Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "In my opinion, Phuntroo is easily his (Director Sujay Dahake) best work to date and it shows great promise. The film is technically strong and a lot of thought has gone into the visual aspect of the storytelling. Although the film has sci-fi elements, it's ideal to look at from the romantic angle. It will help you stay with the film even when science goes for a toss. My advice is to keep your expectations in check, and you are all set to enjoy Phuntroo.6
