Perspective
Love, Sitara received positive reviews from critics.[11]
The film received a 3 stars out of 5 review in The Times of India, in which Sreeparna Sengupta praised the acting.[12] "Only for the restraint it shows in its telling, Love, Sitara deserves a like, if not exactly love.", commented Vinamra Mathur in FIrstpost.[13] Writing for Times Now News Mimansa Shekhar stated, "Relatable in parts, pleasant in the rest. A breezy watch through the inner depths of a family that might be fighting a war on he outside, but are tied up in the same thread from within. A déjà vu!"[14] The film was described by Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV as "unpretentious and steadfastly simple".[15]
A review in The Hindu noted, "The biggest hitch is the writing, which tacks indiscriminately between English and Hindi (with sprinklings of Malayalam)."[16] In a review for The Hindustan Times, Rishabh Suri wrote, "Sobhita Dhulipala's family drama loses pace quickly, leaves you underwhelmed".[17] "Sonali Kulkarni brings an easy gravitas to a film marred by melodrama", stated Kartik Bhardwaj in Cinema Express.[18]
The film received another mixed review, in The New Indian Express, which concluded "Sometimes films are like that, neither good or bad, merely meh."[19] The Deccan Chronicle[20] praised, again, the intention, but criticised the screenplay and acting, stating "Filled with clichés and predictability, the film lacks in performance and even more in emotional value."[20]
