Critical reception
Pallabi Dey Purkayastha of The Times of India rated the film 2/5, calling it "another run-of-the-mill tale on sexual liberation". Devasheesh Pandey of News18 gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5, writing ″Urvashi Rautela's 'Virgin Bhanupriya' is not a disguised sex comedy and functions more as a family drama. It brings forth how the society sees sexual curiosity as something scandalous.″ Bollywood Hungama gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing ″VIRGIN BHANUPRIYA is 1 hour 50 minutes long and starts off with the central plot without wasting any time. Some of the situations in the film are funny, on paper, but doesn't translate the same way on screen. The track of Rajiv is mediocre. Shartiya's entry is heroic and one expects the film to get better. Sadly, that doesn't really happen. The film should have been high on humour and also emotional moments and barring a joke or two, nothing really works. The climax is haphazard and even though the twist is kind of unexpected, the impact is not made.″
