Critical reception

Veeyen for nowrunning.com commented, "Granted that the film talks of social issues that make criminals out of innocent young men and women, and the aftermath of an economic imbalance that without doubt prevails. But Shikhamani is a bummer of a film that leaves a series of disappointments in its wake".[1] Critic Aswin Bharadwaj S for lensmenreviews.com rated the film 1.5 out of 5 and stated, "I would say Shikhamani hasn't used its potential. With striking technical flaws and a story that doesn't have much of a novelty or excitement to its credit, this film is extremely disappointing".[8]
