"It's an old-school thriller that doesn't limit itself to action and obvious cleverness. A throwback thriller that charms with its storytelling, simplicity, and performances."

"Crime 101 is gritty, moody and refreshingly non-judgemental. It refuses to sermonise about crime or righteousness. Watch Crime 101 for its performances, for its textured exploration of moral ambiguity, and for the pleasure of seeing seasoned actors allowed to be human."

Nag Adithya· Deccan Chronicle
"Crime 101 is a one-of-a-kind movie that every movie must watch and contains an ambiguous essence unlike any other crime thrillers. Overall, the film had excelled itself in terms of the overall direction, acting, screenplay and especially cinematography."

Shalini Langer· Indian Express
"A faster wrapping up of the ending, a simpler plot around the moving of diamonds, lesser pretentiousness about the class divide, and a world that is more grey than the film's preferred black and white – and Crime 101 would be home and dry."
