Reception

Siby Jeyya of ''India Herald'' wrote, "Jango is worth watching because of the time loop perspective and other scientific topics featured in the movie." ''Behindwoods'' gave a rating of 2.5 out on 5 and wrote, "The film falls short on writing, dialogues, screenplay and performances, while the concept and Ghibran's music alone stand out. Jango misses to impress despite the potential it had. If you're a fan of sci-fi movies, the film can be watched just for the concept of time loop alone." and gave the final verdict as "Jango's idea is good on paper, but the execution could have been better. Watch it for the unique concept." ''

'' gave a rating of 1.5 out on 5 and wrote, "The poor writing is on display everywhere. Take the scene that tells us why the couple broke up in the first place. It’s all so hurried that you barely register the details, and there’s really no reason for why Gautham seems so… robotic. Debutant actor Satheesh looks the part, but that's it really. Even in places where he doesn’t have to be stoic, he is. All the poor lip sync in this film doesn’t help either. Another example of bad writing is how predictable the identity of the antagonist is. My biggest surprise was how this film, with as many unusual ideas, is yet so unsurprising."
