In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Satyaprem Ki Katha two out of five stars. He wrote, "Satyaprem Ki Katha tries exceedingly hard, but largely in vain, to attain a balance between the need to provide entertainment and the urge to pontificate on a matter of undeniable import. The film swings wildly from comedy to melodrama, from facetiousness to solemnity, in an elusive search of the right blend."
Satyaprem Ki Katha is directed by Sameer Vidwans and co-stars Supriya Pathak, Gajraj Rao, Anuradha Patel and Rajpal Yadav.
