Talking about Prahaar, Bollywood Bubble gave the film a 4-star rating writing, “Avinash Arun’s Prahaar is a hard-hitting, well-written courtroom drama complete with nuanced performances by the entire cast right from Rajkummar Rao and Lalit Prabhakar to the child artist who delivers an emotional confession in court and the police constables who stand on duty in the court room. The film is not only gripping and emotionally charged but also something that stands out despite several projects already being made around the same topic.” It also added, “Right from the cast to the manner in which each actor played their part to the way the story was written, its dialogues and its background score, everything works in favour of the legal drama.”
