A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Mr Pregnant stands as an experimental film that fearlessly delves into a unique concept. Syed Sohel's performance shines as a highlight, accompanied by poignant emotional moments and instances of humour".[5] A critic from Cinema Express wrote that "The novelty of the story keeps the proceedings worth looking out for. But when you see Sohel beating up men at two different places in the film, despite being fully pregnant, you know quite clearly the kind of film you are in for".[6] A critic from Sakshi Post wrote that "Watch it only for the new idea and Sohel's performance".[7]
