Reception[edit]
Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated the film 3 stars out of 5 stars and noted "Dukaan is an intriguing concept with a strong lead performance, but the execution falters, leaving one wanting more."[8] Sonal Pandya of Times Now rated the film 2 stars out of 5 stars and noted "From its unwieldy introduction to the syrupy closing scenes, Dukaan isn't quite sure about how to handle its initial message about found families and parenthood."[9]
Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal said "If you are up for some Garba dance moves, want to delve into Gujarati culture, or want to watch a fresh face Monika Panwar at her best, risk it for yourself, else, Mimi and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke are a still far better bets."[10]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated 1/5 stars and asserts "Its callous perspective and comical treatment of a sensitive matter makes a complete hash of things."[11]
Pankaj Shukla from Amar Ujala rated 2/5.[12]
OTTPlay of HT Media commented "The Year’s Worst Film Is Possibly Here" and "Dukaan centres on surrogacy, but unfolds as a cautionary tale on how not to make a film".[13]
