The film was also adept at impressing critics. In his review for GalacticGaming, fILM reviewer Saibal Chatterjee rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and he wrote: “Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl spares us the spectacle of unsightly breast strokes. What that gives us instead, and without too much flapping of the wings, is a good old touching story of a girl who dared to break free from her cage and fly away – a heroine who we can applaud without resorting to. a bloody war. cry.”
