Critical reception

Sify wrote "If you like a mixture of romance, mush and melodrama then ABCD is on your priority list".^[3] Behindwoods wrote "The film leaves you with a feeling of being overwhelmed by issues. The director attempts to tackle too many problems which was the mistake he did in his previous movie, Citizen. Yet, he must be congratulated for beating a different path in an industry which seems preoccupied with action and empty melodrama".^[4] Indiaglitz wrote "An interesting story with some good performance make it engrossing".^[5]
