Bheed does an admirable job of telling a story - or rather, a number of stories - that simply needed to be told. he also praised director Anubhav Sinha, he said Anubhav Sinha does not hesitate to confront the rot face. Is there anything more thrilling than a filmmaker making a statement and being taken seriously?.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/bheed-review-rajkummar-rao-and-pankaj-kapur-deliver-outstanding-performances-4-stars-3889044|title=Bheed Review: Rajkummar Rao And Pankaj Kapur Deliver Outstanding Performances|first=Saibal|last= Chatterjee |date=24 March 2023 |publisher=[[NDTV]]|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

He said in his review that The power dynamics of class and caste in India are better understood and depicted by Anubhav Sinha than any other Indian filmmaker.

Yatamanyu Narain Of News18 gave the film 4 out of 5 stars. He wrote, "Anubhav Sinha's Bheed might be a film for some but for many, it's bound to be a cathartic journey into the prologue to the darkest chapters of humanity that left the world gasping for air. Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Pankaj Kapur starrer is an important story that dexterously rewinds the time for you and takes you back to that fateful date when India's first lockdown was announced. What followed was a trail of decisions promulgated in view of preventing the outbreak but what it actually did was render thousands of people on a homeward-bound journey with bare necessities in hand. Bheed captured the pathos, pangs, and grief of the marginalized through empathy and compassion tinted-lens."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/movies/bheed-review-anubhav-sinhas-movie-will-make-you-uncomfortable-but-for-all-the-right-reasons-7378417.html |title=Bheed Review: Anubhav Sinha's Movie Will Make You Uncomfortable But For All The Right Reasons |website=news18.com |date=24 March 2023 |access-date=2023-04-04}}</ref>

Cath Clarke of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the film 3 out of 5 stars. She praised the story and stated that "the caste system serves as the foundation for much of the nation's division and strife, as shown in a gripping, state-of-the-nation drama set in the Covid era of India."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/mar/23/bheed-review-lockdown-thriller-cuts-across-indias-class-conflict|title=Bheed review – lockdown thriller cuts across India's class conflict|first=Cath|last= Clarke |date=24 March 2023 |work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

[[Anna MM Vetticad]] writes in the Firstpost. She said that Bheed relates to the dissemination of false information during the pandemic on social media and WhatsApp. Government apathy to the misery of the populace, especially the impoverished, looms large in the background without being explicitly stated. But neither is the main focus of the movie. Bheed focuses on the social rift that emerges even when a tragedy is playing out, namely racism stemming from the upper caste, upper-class avarice, and religion.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/bheed-movie-review-filmmaking-as-an-act-of-defiance-12342682.html|title=Bheed movie review: Filmmaking as an act of defiance|first=Anna MM|last= Vetticad |date=24 March 2023 |publisher=Firstpost|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

Archika Khurana of [[The Times of India]] gave 3.5 stars out of 5. She stated Anubhav Sinha accurately captures the pain endured by hundreds of people in his movie depiction of a particular stage of the pandemic and makes it not an easy watch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/bheed/movie-review/98948357.cms|title=Bheed Movie Review : A brave portrayal of the plight of migrant workers during lockdown|first=Archika|last= Khurana |date=24 March 2023 |work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

Davesh Shrama of [[Filmfare]] also gave 3.5 stars out of 5. He praises the film and write in his review that The movie highlights the plight of the oppressed while also highlighting the stark religious, racial, and caste divide that still exists in our nation. The director doesn't mince words. He doesn't engage in melodrama either.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmfare.com/reviews/bollywood-movies/bheed-movie-review-57572.html#:~:text=The%20film%20not%20only%20sheds,does%20he%20indulge%20in%20melodrama.|title=Bheed Movie Review|first=Davesh|last= Sharma |date=24 March 2023 |publisher=[[Filmfare]]|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

Abhimanyu Mathur of [[DNA (newspaper)|DNA]] praises the lead actors performance and direction. He said in his review that Bheed is a sobering and challenging to watch account of the migrants' plight during the initial lockdown. Nonetheless, it raises questions about how fleeting human memory is. These are events that have happened around us in the last three years. And yet, despite the highest level of documentation of everything that occurs worldwide, these atrocities remain unremembered. That is Bheed's biggest triumph. For those who were most negatively impacted by the lockdowns, it is able to recapture the stark hardness of those times. For a change, those who were battling for their lives are the only thing everybody is talking about.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-bheed-movie-review-anubhav-sinha-paints-grim-harshness-of-lockdown-in-black-and-white-rajkummar-rao-3032005|title=Bheed movie review: Anubhav Sinha paints grim harshness of lockdown and inequalities in black and white|first=Abhimanyu|last= Mathur |date=24 March 2023 |publisher=[[DNA (newspaper)|DNA]]|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>

Shubham Kulkarni of [[Koimoi]] gave 3 stars out of 5 and writes in his review that Bheed combines a conversation that is required with an ideology that dominates the necessary conversation. Although it is a complicated watch, there is no denying that it has value.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.koimoi.com/bollywood-movies/movie-reviews/bheed-movie-review-looking-at-the-lockdown-as-another-partition-is-fierce-but-the-not-so-subtle-commentary-is-unlike-anubhav-sinha/|title=Bheed Movie Review: Looking At The Lockdown As Another Partition Is Fierce, But The 'Not-So-Subtle' Commentary Is Unlike Anubhav Sinha|first=Shubham|last= Kulkarni |date=24 March 2023 |publisher=[[Koimoi]]|access-date=24 March 2023}}</ref>
