Runway has garnered both favourable and negative reviews from the critics. Umesh Punwani said, “Runway 34 could’ve been a runaway success if not for falling into the trap of getting inspired by other films. It could’ve been way better if it ended in the interval.”
Another reviewer from DNA India wrote “Runway 34 is a balanced film, with right amount of technical, emotional and masala content.”
