==Reception==
=== Critical response === Kalpeshraj Kubal of ''The Times of India'' gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "''Jhimma 2'' is a story of emotions that also shows a mirror to the viewers, presenting a side of their reality and making them think about the things in life that matter."<ref name=":0" /> Tanvi Lad of ''Film Companion'' gave a positive review writing, "It stands out among most female-centric movies because its powerful storytelling doesn’t come across as a lecture on feminism." Lad opined that the film has humour and "serves a veritable buffet of feelings" and further praised the soundtrack writing, "The music composed by Amitraj is soothing." Concluding Lad lauded the director, crew and cast writing, "Dhome, his crew and the cast deserves a round of applause for telling a story that is compelling without being preachy, which delivers joy and laughter while emphasising the need for us to introspect as a society."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/marathi-review/jhimma-2-review-a-must-watch-film-with-heart-and-humour|title=Jhimma 2 Review: A Must-Watch Film With Heart and Humour|author=Tanvi Lad|date=24 November 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=Film Companion}}</ref> Akhilesh Nerlekar of ''Loksatta'' also praised the director, crew and cast.
