Here's what Bollywood critics have to say about Kadvi Hawa:

IANS gave the movie 4 stars and wrote: "Kadvi Hawa is a timely relevant warning for mankind to stop being unkind to Earth. Mishra in his skimpy dhoti epitomizes the grievous isolation of an individual who is way too proud to take help, financial or otherwise, from any institution or individual. Standing stooped in his pride, Mishra proves himself quite the calendar boy for abject poverty. This film must not be missed by any global citizen."

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV said: "Kadvi Hawa hits home with the force of a gale. It is designed to provoke contemplation and action, a mission that it achieves without any serious slips. Watch it because it is an important film that offers an essential takeaway."

Zinia Bandyopadhyay of Desimartini said: "The film overall is definitely a must watch. It should be watched, not as an entertainer but something that will enlighten you and bring you face to face with the gravity of a situation that we, the upper middle class and middle class very conveniently avoids."
