Critical response

''Pune Mirror'' wrote, "The script has remained true to the original, but seems artificial in presentation. And if a South Indian action film seems more realistic than its Marathi version, we have a problem." ''Times of India'' wrote "There are films that have the standard run-of-the-mill stuff and others that are totally hatke; Bhikari falls somewhere in between. It has the right mix of star power and masala, along with an emotionally touching story about a mother and her son. The execution is where this film falters."

Box office

''Bhikari'' had a below par opening at the box office. It collected , and , making a total of in its first 3-days respectively.
