Cast

Reception

Pratishruti Ganguly of Firstpost gave a mixed review stating "Despite the superb acting though, one may find Sleeping Partner a tad too melodramatic and Bollywood-ised, especially in the end."[8] In contrast, Ruchi Kaushal of Hindustan Times and Nandini Ramanath of Scroll.in gave a positive note and also praised Divya Dutta's characterisation, with the former stating that "It’s enough to leave you impressed not just with Divya’s character arc but also how a woman finds courage inside herself."[9] and the latter wrote "The feminist lite treatment ensures a conclusion that nobody saw coming. Yet, Dutta is affecting as the bruised wife, and Sanjay Kapoor is turning out to be a fine cameo artist in small but well-written parts."[10] Rahul Desai of Film Companion noted "The film subverts the extramarital template and pitches a woman against the general arrogance of mankind: a tightrope walk that doesn’t fall prey to the woke, kitchen-sink-brand feminism expected from storytellers these days."[11]
