Reception
[edit]The Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India wrote "Funral is heartfelt story that cultminates in a very nicely written climax. Though it falls short in the technical aspects, the emotion it conveys is universal and for that, it deserves a watch".[5] Keyur Seta of Cinestaan given 2 out of 5 stars and said "Funral gives the feel and atmosphere of a chawl life and screenplay is looks like serious yet light-hearted way. The film conveys a philosophical message around death in a simple manner. But for some strange reason, while Funral has its heart in the right place, the film feels like an incomplete journey".[6]
