The film may lack gloss and could do with a bit more finesse, and has a slightly jerky narration. But one should commend the debutante for taking up a storyline that is different and relevant to the times, of trying to give a more realistic touch to the scenes and resisting the temptation to add commercial ingredients like fights and dances. Also for the feel-good ending she gives to her two-hour narration".<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Rightaa Thappaa \|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_rightaa_thappaa.php \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060327074524/http://movies.bizhat.com/review_rightaa_thappaa.php \|archive-date=27 March 2006 \|access-date=15 May 2022 \|website=BizHat.com}}</ref>
