Critical reception
The film received mixed reviews from the critics.
Kshamaya Daniel for Rediff.com has given 4/5 stars and says Gippi is a movie meant for teens, and that it has all the necessary teen masala—romance, a makeover, cheesy humour and loud music.{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-gippi/20130510.htm| title=Review: Gippi is both funny and embarrassing! | author=Kshamaya Daniel | work=Rediff.com | accessdate=10 May 2013}}{{Rating|4|5}}
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the movie a rating of 3.5/5 stars and said "On the whole, GIPPI is a credible take on the 'coming-of-age' variety of movies. This one's straight from the heart. Sweet, simple, emotionally engaging, heart-warming cinema!"{{cite web|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/553604|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405234143/http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/553604|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 April 2013| title=Gippi Review | author=Taran Adarsh | website=Bollywood Hungama | accessdate=10 May 2013}}{{Rating|3.5|5}} Madhureeta Mukherjee of the Times of India gave the movie 3/5 stars, mentioning "Sonam Nair's 'coming of puberty' film handles simple issues sensitively, though it doesn't delve too deep.
