Reception

A critic from ''The Times of India'' rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "Through humour, it addresses the gravest tragedy. It also makes us wonder if it’s better to live a lie instead of succumbing to the harsh reality. The concept is great, but the execution could have been better." A critic from ''IANS'' gave it 3/5 stars and wrote, "The editing, though, could have been less uneven and patchy and more sure of where and when the characters should stop speaking."

Nandini Ramnath of ''LiveMint'' wrote, "The acting is mostly amateurish, and the production design is low-budget tacky—the spa is quite obviously a suburban hotel in Mumbai. Neither sensual dream nor psychological nightmare, ''Sona Spa'' is a one-liner in search of depth and coherence." Trisha Gupta of ''Firstpost'' wrote, "''Sona Spa'' where the girls sleep for you, not with you is an intriguing look into our inner lives. But the film by Makarand Deshpande is eventually like a restless night in bed - choppy, dreamy but not fully satisfying." Preeti Arora of ''Rediff.com'' gave it 0.5/5 stars and wrote, "Instead of developing the idea enough and shaping it into some concretely original story-telling, Deshpande waxes eloquent with a battery of fancy (also unnecessary) dialogue and way too many sub-plots."
