Reception:-
The film received mixed reviews upon release.
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated it 4 out of 5 stars and stated that the film is an all-engrossing, compelling drama that mirrors the reality around us.
Ankit Ojha of Planet Bollywood gave the film 4 stars (out of 10), stating that, "Satyagraha is suitable only for those who can ignore the film's many faults for its message. That in itself is going to be a major task for the audience to live up to."
Srijana Mitra Das of The Times of India gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 and said that Satyagraha deserves an extra half-star for capturing corruption from root to branch.
India Today gave it 4 out of 5 stars and summarised that Satyagraha is a timely wakeup call for a wounded nation.
Subhash K. Jha also gave it 4 out 5.
Joginder Tuteja gave it 4 out of stars.
Neha Gupta of the Deccan Herald gave the film 4 stars and stated that Satyagraha conveys the uncontrollable anger and energy of a nation on the brink.
Koimoi gave it 2.5 stars and judged that the film is a well intentioned social drama.
Prathamesh Jadhav of DNA gave it 2.5 stars and concluded that it is a predictable story spoon-fed with sincerity.
Sarita Tanwar of DNA India gave it 2.5 stars and stated that Satyagraha is a bad script with good actors.
Saurabh Dwivedi of India Today gave it 2 stars and remarked that despite choosing a hard-hitting topic other directors have managed to side step, Prakash Jha's Satyagraha was lacking and managed to land right on top of a pile of weak stories.
Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it 2 out 5 and opined that in Satyagraha, Jha effectively meshes the urban angst witnessed on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook with the ground realities of India's heartland, but the plot subsequently loses its way.
Anupama Chopra gave it 2 stars and felt that the impact is diluted by a plot that lurches from one event to the next without giving us anything new.
Resham Sengar of Zee News gave it 2 out of 5 stars and wrote that Satyagraha is a mission left unaccomplished.
