Times Now: "Savi is an inspiration, prompting women to be brave and fierce. Certain attention to details like having an eerie vibe with pouring rain during intense scenes added gravitas to the movie. One of the songs Khol Pinjra was a crucial track and was used at times when Savi made some bold and risky choices and faced enough oppression by the British law. Overall, the film is enjoyable despite its slight flaws and makes a good watch for all thriller enthusiasts out there."

News18: "Savi: A Bloody Housewife will perhaps start a new chapter for Divya Khossla, the actor. Though predictable, it definitely deserves a watch for its fresh treatment and sincere attempt at being a clutter-breaker."

Watch Savi Trailer:

Koimoi: "Anil Kapoor is in his element as a habitual fugitive. His post-climax scene is terrific in the casual way he approaches it. Made to wear multiple disguises, including that of an old woman, he is the highlight of the cast. Divya Khossla is patently sincere as the central character, but in some demanding scenes, both her expressions and voice modulation fall short. In a few others, she shines, as when she leaves her son Adi in the care of her friend, Simrit (Rageshwari Loomba Swaroop)."

Moneycontrol: "Anil Kapoor appears in multiple disguises through the course of the film—a British detective, a geriatric woman, an old man with a beard as long as Dumbledore and an ice-cream truck driver who wears clown make-up. The justification of these frequent wardrobe changes is that as an ex-convict, Paul doesn’t wish to jeopardise his freedom as he helps Savi free her husband from the lock-up."
