India Today gave the film three out of five stars and wrote that "In all, Dhilip Kumar's Kalki is an engaging watch for its plot and characters. Actually, the latter!". On the other hand, Firstpost gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five and stated that " Let down by a lack of focus, Kalki meanders through its long runtime, dancing around the themes it should have explored in order to service a mystery that leaves a lot to be desired".
