Reception

Critical response

A critic for Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Satyaprem Ki Katha is a progressive film that rests on the towering performances, strong second half and the message it conveys."[31] Ritika Handoo of Zee News rated the film with 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Kartik Aaryan does a good job in this family entertainer along with solid performance by Kiara Advani."[32] Abhimanyu Mathur of DNA India rated the film with 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Both Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani deliver commendable performances in this imperfect-yet-enjoyable film."[33] Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Satyprem Ki Katha is driven by its need to preach and give a message. The subject does move you and leaves you with much to think about, however, it tends to take the more emotional route than an entertaining one."[34] Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Director Sameer Vidwans has successfully managed to weave the complexities of society, which affect the mindset of an individual in a beautiful way. He handled the subject with utmost maturity".[35] Sonil Dedhia of News18 rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Kudos to Kiara Advani for taking up a role which is so unconventional. Kartik Aaryan too handles a complex part with remarkable ease."[36] Reya Mehrotra of The Week rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "From rom-com to serious drama, Satyaprem Ki Katha oscillates between multiple themes".[37] Leaf Arbuthnot of The Guardian rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Tolerably corny taboo-busting tale of a lovable loser who courts a beautiful woman features epic dance scenes and catchy, involving music".[38]

Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and in all praise for Advani's wrote, "One of the great criers of her generation, Kiara's pain pierces through the screen and makes a heartfelt picture of how she feels even when the script cannot see her, beyond the man who broke her trust or the man who'll mend it. She's the real katha in search of a worthy kahani."[39] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, Somewhere under the overwrought and overcooked plot of Kartik Aaryan-Kiara Advani-starrer is a real film about two people dealing with troubled pasts, but it gets buried under everything else that the movie throws at us."[40] Zinia Bandyopadhyay of India Today rated the film with 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Kartik Aaryan-Kiara Advani film suffers from curse of inconsistency".[41] Anuj Kumar of The Hindu commented "Director Sameer Vidwans addresses date rape and the idea of consent but uses a bleeding pen to make his point in this uneven tale".[42] Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times wrote "Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani deliver stellar performance in his romantic comedy with a beating heart."[43] Shomini Sen of WION wrote "There are very few films that have a lousy first half and a good second half and Satyaprem Ki Katha falls in this rare category."[44] Uday Bhatia of Live Mint stated "Satyaprem Ki Katha changes its approach halfway through, but fares no better as a message film than as a lazy comedy".[45] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote "Marathi director Sameer Vidwans’s Hindi-language Satyaprem Ki Katha is billed as a true love story, a romance for the ages in which a man loves unconditionally and accepts his partner despite her dilemmas."[46]
