Guru Pournima received mixed reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Girish MohiteâÂÂs tale is as closely knit as relations should be and in portraying the importance of those, he has come out with flying colours". Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "Everyone including Sulabha Arya, who plays GuruâÂÂs mother, has performed admirably. The film looks good and works well in parts. Still, it lacks the overall punch". Paloma Sharma of Rediff rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote " It is an engaging, sensitive and not frills film that deserves at least one watch". Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Overall, it is true that the student has passed. But, there is no situation to beat the marks obtained". A reviewer fromàLoksatta wrote "The twists required in a love story do not come here. So, if the good acting of the actors is omitted, the film falls short in reaching the audience".
