Reception
123telugu gave 3.25 out of 5 stars and wrote "On the whole, Jil is one of the most stylized films that has come out in the recent past. Stunning visuals, peppy music and decent performances are basic assets. If you end up bearing the routine story and a predictable second half, you can definitely watch the masala entertainer this weekend." 

Idlebrain rated the movie 3 out of 5 and reviewed that first half of the film is nice compared to the second half. It identified technical standards, production values, and songs as being strong components.
