''Bombairiya'' received mixed reviews from critics. A review for the [[Indo-Asian News Service]] carried by ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' opined: "Radhika Apte's film is a crazy, heartwarming homage to Mumbai. It captures the polarised propensities of the split city with vigour and humour. Sure, towards the midpoint, the edifice of chaos built on the premise of ‘One Day in the Life Of Radhika Apte’ (she gets top solo billing), begins to fall apart. And you feel the film is trying to cram in too much physical activity at the cost of giving the plot and the characters space to breathe. But then, this is a homage to a breathless city. And the rhythms of the film follow suit. No time to ask why. Just act".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/bombairiya-movie-review-crazily-heartwarming-homage-to-mumbai/story-jdMF10OqloOJUy1L8ijHXK.html|title=Bombairiya movie review: Radhika Apte's film is a crazy, heartwarming homage to Mumbai|website=Hindustan Times|date=18 January 2019|access-date=19 January 2019}}</ref>
