Reception
[edit]A critic fromThe Hinduwrote that "Touted as tender lover story,Achu Mechuis a torture to sit through despite the presence Tarun Chandra and Archana Gupta in the cast. The film is badly let down by the storyline and screenplay though its theme is ageless: love unbound by age ".[6]A critic fromIANSrated the film1+1⁄2out of 5 and wrote that "Over allAchchu Mechchuis a disappointing fare ".[7]A critic fromIndiaglitzwrote that "The content of this film is as if it is derived for the purpose of remaining novel. The approach is laudable but not the treatment for the content".[8]
