Reception

Kavya Christopher of The Times of India rated the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "Green Girl has moments of tenderness and authenticity, but it ultimately fails to rise above its clichés or deliver the emotional resonance its subject demands".[4] Sruthi Ganapathy Raman of The Hollywood Reporter India wrote, " While the film could’ve done with a lot more nuance with the addition of just a few more minutes, Green Girl is still a film that shakes you up".[5] Shivani Kava of The News Minute wrote, "Sometimes, it feels like a radical film made by accident, and some other times, like a liberal love story with a sharp bite".[6]
