The film received negative reviews from critics. Hemanth Kumar of Firstpost gave the film 2.5/5 and wrote "Falaknuma Das is like eating mutton biryani. The aroma and taste knocks you out for sometime, and once you get used to the flavour, it loses the very charm that made you crave for it".[8] Neeshita Nyayapati Of The Times Of India gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 and wrote "The biggest drawback of Falaknuma Das is the lack of structure in its narrative, for it does show potential by shining through in the most unsuspecting moments with its subtle humour".[9]

Krishna Sripada of The News Minute gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Falaknuma Das is a realistic crime drama that revolves around a testosterone-driven, eternally animalistic, mindless bunch of toxic men forever courting trouble".[10] Y Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu wrote "A gritty story, native narrative and great performances make ‘Falaknuma Das’ an interesting watch".[11]
