Reception
A critic from The Hindu noted that "This one [film] is more like television serial but even serials are high on drama and emotions".[5] A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "Pressure Cooker pretends to be fresh, but is a regular and cliché fare that manages to work".[6] A critic from Telangana Today wrote that "The theme of Sujoi and Sushil evokes interest among audiences but screenplay is a bit disappointing."[7]
