Reception
Lachmi Deb Roy of Firstpost said that "Greater Kalesh is a real feel-good film and most importantly it is short and sweet and no running around the bushes.

Arpita Sarkar of OTT Play gave 4 stars out of 5 and said that "Ahsaas Channa shines in Netflix's family drama. The short film hardly has any flaws and feels like a warm hug this festival season."
Subhash K Jha of News 24 gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Netflix’s Greater Kalesh is a warm, nostalgic slice of family life that unfolds with gentle humour and heartfelt moments. This short film captures the chaos, secrets, and love that make every family beautifully imperfect."
