== Critical reception ==
The film received mixed reviews from the critics.

Kshamaya Daniel for [[Rediff.com]] has given 4/5 stars and says ''Gippi'' is a movie meant for teens. And it has all the necessary teen masala—romance, a makeover, cheesy humour and loud music.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-gippi/20130510.htm| title=Review: Gippi is both funny and embarrassing! | author=Kshamaya Daniel | work=Rediff.com | accessdate=10 May 2013}}{{Rating|4|5}}</ref>
[[Taran Adarsh]] of Bollywood Hungama gave the movie a rating of 3.5/5 stars and said "On the whole, GIPPI is a credible take on the 'coming-of-age' variety of movies. This one's straight from the heart. Sweet, simple, emotionally engaging, heart-warming cinema!"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/553604| title=Gippi Review | author=Taran Adarsh | publisher=bollywoodhungama.com | accessdate=10 May 2013}}{{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref> Madhureeta Mukherjee of the Times of India gave the movie 3/5 stars mentioning " Sonam Nair's 'coming of puberty' film handles simple issues sensitively, though it doesn't delve too deep. The subtlety appeals, but lacks drama in the second half, with a mediocre climax."<ref name="Gippi Review 3">{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/Gippi/movie-review/19946970.cms | title=Gippi Movie Review | first=Madhureeta | last=Mukherjee | date=27 April 2016 | newspaper=The Times of India | accessdate=11 December 2018}}{{Rating|3|5}}</ref> [[in.com]] also gave the film a favourable review saying it would "take adults down memory lane while connecting with teenagers at the same time."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.in.com//news/entertainment/movie-review-gippi-is-adorable-50212509-in-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608084512/http://www.in.com/news/entertainment/movie-review-gippi-is-adorable-50212509-in-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 June 2013| title=Review: Gippi is adorable | author=Swati Deogire | publisher=in.com | accessdate=10 May 2013}}{{Rating|3.5|5}}</ref> [[Rajeev Masand]] from [[CNN-IBN]] gave the movie 2/5 stars saying that "Ultimately, this could have been a sweet, unusual tale about the triumph of a nerd, yet it's let down by its affected tone."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masandsverdict/gippi-review-many-of-the-films-better-ideas-are-lost-in-execution/390895-8.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130619172117/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masandsverdict/gippi-review-many-of-the-films-better-ideas-are-lost-in-execution/390895-8.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 June 2013| title='Gippi' review: Many of the film's better ideas are lost in execution | author=Rajeev Masand | publisher=ibnlive.in.com| accessdate=11 May 2013}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref>
