Reception

The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and stated that "The film feels like a missed opportunity, especially at a time when farmers are fighting for water".[5] Deccan Chronicle gave the film the same rating and wrote that " In the end, Pagiri is a very novel twist to the 'common man woes' idea, but shallow comedy undermines the impact it could have had".[2]

gollark: Well, you could presumably fix enough of the problems that people can live an extra 100 years, and deal with whatever issues crop up in the meantime over that time.

gollark: I see.

gollark: Why not?

gollark: Death is bad and should be eliminated, in time.

gollark: I disagree.
