Reception[]

Diwakar Pyakurel of OnlineKhabar found the film to be "realistic humane story".[2] Abhimanyu Dixit of The Kathmandu Post wrote "At a time when Nepali films are as dismal as they are, Saili stands out. It presents a dose of reality that will please an audience fed up with glossier fares that provide little substance. Saili has substance, but it also has shortcomings that should be looked upon as opportunities for future filmmakers, especially writer-director Ram Babu Gurung".[3] The Annapurna Express praised the film writing "Saili is exactly what cinema should be: a piece of art".[4]
