Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times Of India gave the movie 3.5/5 stars, stating that "Gattu is a must-watch for children of all ages (read: grown-ups even more).

It leaves you with a smile on your face." Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the movie 3/5 stars, concluding that "On the whole, a film like GATTU speaks to both, the kids and adults.

Pretty much a film for children, but not exclusively for as it's an enjoyable story surrounding one young boy's extraordinary lengths to be a kite champion.

Rare Indian film with a main cast of youngsters. Movie starts slowly but gradually escalates to a pulsating finale, ably held up by a group of likable and charming young cast, whose wits and humour helped to raise the film to new heights.
