Bit early to guesstimate the biz of #SuiDhaaga on a national holiday [today]... A big holiday ensures enhanced footfalls and in this case, a double digit total is a certainty... Since the family audience are patronising the film, a consistent run on subsequent days is assured.

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Sui Dhaaga 2.5 stars. "Sui Dhaaga. falls well short of perfection, but it never comes unstuck. It passes muster as a wholesome entertainer embellished with humour, warmth, authentic emotional trappings and actors adept at going seamlessly along with the flow. Definitely worth the price of the ticket, if not more," he wrote.
Sui Dhaaga, directed by Sharat Katariya, narrates the story of a couple Mamta (Anushka Sharma) and Mauji (Varun Dhawan) and how they become self-employed after putting together a tailoring and embroidery business against all odds.
Sui Dhaaga clashed at the box office with Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan's Pataakha, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
