Reception
The film received mostly mixed reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 17% of 6 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6/10.[11]
In The Times of India, Renuka Vyavahare gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Sukhee has a heartfelt premise but it lacks pace, struggles to be engaging and gets too preachy to be perfect towards the end."[12] On the website OTTPlay, Ishita Sengupta was negative, writing that, "Sukhee joins an increasing list of outings that intends uncovering the feminist undertones of being a homemaker, something that traditionally has been looked down upon. But in doing so, it also sees it as a problem that needs solving."[13]
