Reception
A critic from Sify wrote that "College Days could be a classic case of not using the resources well. One gets the feeling that if it was approached with more passion and discipline, it could have been a nicer movie".[7] Veeyen of Nowrunning stated that "College Days looks like an earnest endeavor, but one that is entirely unaware of its predecessors. With a bit more careful plotting, the film could have emerged much better than it has".[8] A critic from Indiaglitz opined that "Final word? `College Days' is a well executed film, from a more than average scripts, with the ensemble cast pitching in competent performances".[9]
