Critical response

Banjo received mixed reviews from critics.[6] The Times of India rated the film 3.5/5, writing that "If you are familiar with Mumbai's working-class neighbourhoods, where the hearts of the poor are bigger than the pay packages of those residing in the mushrooming high-rises, you'll be able to notice the beauty of Banjo. It also makes you respect the street musicians a little more."[9] Hindustan Times rated the film 3/5, stating that "there's a lot to like in Riteish Deshmukh film."[10] Koimoi.com rated the film 2/5, writing that "Banjo is easily passable.
