Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
Mihir Bhanage from The Times of India wrote "While Preetam is still a decent watch, it could've been better with some crisp editing and direction. In the present form, it's not entirely fascinating, but not bad either".[6] Jaideep Pathakji from Maharashtra Times says "In short, Pritam is a love story in a dream. There's a lot that's special about it".[7] Viplav Gupte of News18 India wrote "If edited properly then this film can be more entertaining. Anyway, take a look. This is the story of a town in Konkan. You will like it. Language is not that big a barrier because all are sub title".[8]
