Pallabi Dey Purkayastha of The Times of India gave the movie 3 stars out of 5 stars and noted “To sum it up, Kaagaz could have been the go-to movie for those pursuing a burst of inspiration, but it finishes up being a uni-dimensional masterclass on one man’s acting prowess. Not that we are whining, but the movie could tug at the heartstrings. Alas! It was not to be.”
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the movie 3 stars out of 5 stars and noted “Satish Kaushik’s labor of love drives home the difficulty of an ordinary man up against an administrative system that thrives on running the already divested further into the ground.”
Gautaman Bhaskaran of News18 gave the movie 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted “Kaagaz goes beyond the realm of parody, and a more intimate leash on characterizations and scene conceptualizations could have gone a lengthy way in turning Kaagaz into a more practical to see.”
