==Review==<br />
''Aparadhi'' got a poor review from the reviewer of ''[[Filmindia]]'' with the review titled "Poor story with poorer direction" and calling it "Bankrupt direction". The story was cited as being "very thin" with weak screenplay. The music lacked appeal and a song item in Zulu style was especially panned as not required in an "essentially Indian setting". Madhubala was praised and stated to be the "only silver lining".<ref name=Filmindia /><br />

==Soundtrack==<br />
