Reception
The film received mixed but mostly positive reviews from critics. Most critics acclaimed the film, though some felt it lacked redeeming qualities.
Devendra Bhattarai from 'Kantipur' said: "Chiso Manchhe has the feel of pure Nepali soil. It is difficult to say how much the director Dipendra will earn from this film, which does not follow the formula. However, it is necessary for others to learn this blueprint of a comprehensive story that tries to weave such an original story."
Sukrit Nepal from 'Gorkhapatra' praised the film's overall plot as well as the regional accents used by Swastima Khadka and Desh Bhakta Khanal. Their characters' costumes are also recognized for being relevant.
'Annapurna Post' has written: "The plot revolves around the character of Puspa, and there is no real plot, and the story does not progress as it should. The film ends while the audience is expecting something good."
