Critical reception edit
Y film received positive reviews from critics. Kalpeshraj Kubal of The Times of India gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote " Y, which derives its name from the Y is a film that conveys an important message and should be watched for that".[8] Keyur Seta of Cinestaan.com also gave it 3 stars out of 5 and similarly found that "But what really stops this good film from being superlative is the abrupt climax. In fact, when the end credits start rolling, it becomes difficult to believe that the film has ended".[9] A reviewer from Maharashtra Times gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote "This movie will surely enlighten you. The movie is also satisfactory in technical terms. The background score is especially good".[10] Vishal Ghatge of ABP Majha also gave it 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "It would have worked even if it had not been told from the very first frame that this movie is a commentary on a serious topic. Without simplifying everything, some things should have been left for the audience to understand".[11]
