Reception
47 Days received mixed reviews from critics with praise for performances and technical output but criticism for the storyline and narration.[5] Neeshita Nyayapati of Times of India gave the film two stars out of five, saying "47 Days only works in bits and pieces because Satyadev does enough to ensure you stay invested."[6] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote that, "There’s a lot going on in the film written and directed by Pradeep Maddali, but it ends up as a hotchpotch. The only reason to watch it till the end is its leading man Satyadev, whose empathetic performance goes in vain."[7]
