Release and reception

Panchak had its premiere at 21st Pune International Film Festival on 5 February 2023, where it received standing ovation from the audience.[14][15][16] The official title poster and the release date were released by the makers in the mid-October.[17] The teaser was released on 1 December 2023,[18] subsequently, the trailer was released on 12 December 2023.[19] The trailer garnered a great response from the audience, and Bollywood stars Kajol, Riteish Deshmukh, Shilpa Shetty, Karan Johar, and others praised it.[20]

Nandini Ramnath from Scroll.in wrote "Dilip Prabhavalkar mercifully lingers on even after his passing in the form of flashbacks. The rest of the cast perform efficiently, with Nandita Patkar noteworthy as the easily susceptible Kaveri".[21] Reshma Raikwar from Loksatta says "Due to the depiction in Konkan and the humorous arrangement, the movie 'Panchak' feels good, but the thought that it could have been made better with all these forces does not remain in the mind".[22] Mihir Bhanage from The Times of India wrote "The comedy track of Shobhraj and Bullet Prakash is excellent. Vijay Kaundinya shows signs of becoming a villain of the future. Music by Saikarthik has good tunes. Venus Murthy’s cinematography is a treat".[23] Devendra Jadhav from Sakal wrote "The first to mention is Dilip Prabhavalkar. Dilipkak has done a great job despite playing a very small role. Their demeanor makes the atmosphere pleasant".[24]
