Zwigato opened to stellar evaluations from movie critics. In his evaluate for NDTV, movie critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the movie 3.5 stars out of 5 and he wrote this about Kapil Sharma’s efficiency: “The male protagonist is Manas Mahto (Kapil Sharma cast in a role that one would hardly believe is cut out for him), a food delivery boy who strays into the profession after losing the job of a factory floor supervisor. His soul-crushing routine hinges on numbers, timings and ratings that, as Manas laments, has reduced him to a machine.”

Zwigato, that includes Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami, premiered on the Toronto International Film Festival, Busan International Film Festival, and the International Film Festival of Kerala earlier than releasing in theatres.
