Critical response
Gulabi received negative reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Guddu Dhanoa has tried his best to make a unique love story but sadly, it doesn't quite strike a chord with the viewers. Watch this one only if you have to". Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "The only saving grace to an extent is Sachin Khedekar's presence and the dignity it brings to the scenes. Beyond that, the lesser said about the film the better". A reviewer from Divya Marathi wrote "Being a dance bar theme, the layout is a bit gaudy. It is not a subject that can be watched with the family. But the dire reality of Barbal's sufferings and the current social situation comes out in 'Gulabi'". Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Story, screenplay, dialogues, acting, logic except for exception, this movie is deceived in all respects... making one say that the theme of the cage is 'a mockery today'."
