Bharathstudent.com predicted that the film would "find select audience and above average returns" at the box office while reviewing that Dushtaa was a "rustic tale of love, misfortune and stroke of destiny." and "Though the idea is realistic, it doesn't leave the audience with a pleasant feel as the protagonist keeps suffering right from the start. While the first half goes about with the layering of the plot, the second half gets into various twists and turns"[6]
