Ruchi Kaushal of Hindustan Times reviewed "The slice-of-life stories have the ability to bestow you with the gift of smile and not just a slight tug of the upper lip but an ear-to-ear grin."{{Cite web|date=2020-02-26|title=Zindagi inShort movie review: Guneet Monga's rainbow of short films infuses hope and happiness|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/zindagi-inshort-review-guneet-monga-s-rainbow-of-short-films-infuses-hope-and-happiness/story-6X41UBPgyf2zZrE4w2x1fO.html|access-date=2021-02-20|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}} Pratishruti Ganguly of Firstpost rated 4 out of 5 and wrote "For the most part though, Zindagi inShort proves to be worth your time. If you are in the mood to indulge in some web-watching this weekend, this omnibus of short, delectable nuggets of entertainment, sans the pressure of commitment to countless follow-up seasons, will not disappoint."{{Cite web|date=2020-02-20|title=Zindagi inShort review: Guneet Monga serves a versatile mix of small, delectable shorts in her life-affirming omnibus |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/zindagi-inshort-review-guneet-monga-serves-a-versatile-mix-of-small-delectable-shorts-in-her-life-affirming-omnibus-8058751.html|access-date=2021-02-20|website=Firstpost}} Shubham Kulkarni of Koimoi gave the same rating and stated "Zindagi inShorts is a concept that needs to be promoted. Watch it to see how a story can be told in a limited timeframe without compromising on anything. Watch it to see how varies pallet of stories we have and endorse."{{Cite web|date=2020-02-19|title=Zindagi InShort Review: Guneet Monga With Tahira Kashyap, Neena Gupta, Divya Dutta & Others Serves A Versatile Platter Worth Our Time|url=https://www.koimoi.com/reviews/web-reviews/zindagi-inshort-review-guneet-monga-with-tahira-kashyap-neena-gupta-divya-dutta-others-serves-a-versatile-platter-worth-our-time/|access-date=2021-02-20|website=Koimoi|language=en-US}} Nandini Ramanath of Scroll.in summarised "The emphasis in Zindagi inShort is on feel-good, even when the evidence suggests that this isn't always possible. The spread, which has been produced by Guneet Monga's Sikhya Entertainment for Flipkart Video, consists of slices of life that are mostly sweet with a touch of the savoury and the spicy."{{Cite web|author=Scroll Staff|title=Flipkart Video's anthology 'Zindagi inShort' has restless women and lots of twists|url=https://scroll.in/reel/953496/flipkart-videos-anthology-zindagi-inshort-has-restless-women-and-lots-of-twists|access-date=2021-02-20|website=Scroll.in|language=en-US}} Rahul Desai of Film Companion stated "Flipkart Video Originals’ Zindagi inShort is unrestricted by a common theme or, as it's known in producer parlance, a “peg”. At the worst of times, it turns into a gimmick. Each of Zindagi’s seven shorts looks like a story that the maker wants to tell rather than one that must forcibly fit a brief."{{Cite web|date=2020-02-24|title=Zindagi inShort Review - A Largely Enjoyable And Versatile Collection Of Homegrown Short Films|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/short-film-review/zindagi-inshort-review-a-largely-enjoyable-and-versatile-collection-of-homegrown-short-films/|access-date=2021-02-20|website=Film Companion|language=en-US}}
