Reception
Critical response
Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Revolving around the passage of time, nostalgia, closure, and stillness… ‘Three of Us’ is meditative and melancholic. However, like a dwindling memory, the film feels lost and unsure of what it wants to say at regular intervals.".[3] Prateek Sur of Outlook gave the film five out of five stars, describing it as the best film of the year, and calling it "a masterpiece in acting".[4] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Mint labeled the film "unhurried and intimate".[5]
