Reception

Critical reception

Vaalvi received positive reviews from critics. A Reviewer of Scroll.in wrote "The pitch-perfect cast has just the right attitude to a movie that invites us to consider the depth of human depravity and instead gives us an efficient and effective cruel comedy, as bloodless as it is ruthless".[13] Akhilesh Nerlekar of Loksatta wrote "The dialogues, background music, cinematography have all come together well. There are subtle mistakes at some places, but if you ignore them, you can enjoy this movie. The works of Swapnil Joshi, Anita Date, Shivani Surve and Subodh Bhave have been done well".[14] Jaydeep Pathak of Maharashtra Times says "Even though the content of the film is very serious and 'tense', 'dark humor' keeps sneaking in the film from time to time with cheesy dialogues. The 'grey' shade in the content perfectly captures Mangesh Dhakane's background score".[9]

Box office

Vaalvi has collected ₹1.88 crore at the box office in its first week.[15] Film collected ₹1.40 crore in 4 days[16] and 2.54 crore in 9 days of its release.[17] The film was collected ₹3 crores in the first 2 weeks.[18] It crossed ₹7 crore at box office in five weeks of theatrical run.[19]
