Critical reception
Reza Noorani of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 and said that, "In an effort to capture the magic of the tragic love story it is inspired from, 'Mirza Juuliet' crumbles under its own ambition and becomes a cinematic tragedy instead."{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/mirza-juuliet/movie-review/58049543.cms |title=Mirza Juuliet - Movie Review|author=Reza Noorani |work=The Times of India|date=7 April 2017}} Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film a rating of 1 out of 5 and said that, "Mirza Juuliet is a crass, clammy and clichéd concoction that is best avoided.
