One Twitter user was surprised after watching Saina as he didn't expect it to be this good. He wrote, "Done watching #Saina: Surprisingly, Good. I was expecting an average film from the trailer but it came out better than that. Saina is high on emotions but lacks the intelligent choreography. Finally, something good in Bollywoodq after 14 months since #Tanhaji RATING- 6/10* (sic)."

Calling it marvellous, another Twitter user wrote, "High on emotions and desire, this @ParineetiChopra starrer is actually a best film from Bollywood in the last 1 year. Deals with the topsy turvy life of Nehwal with its simple yet interesting life story, good screenplay and excellent direction (sic)."
#Saina - MARVELLOUS !

High on emotions and desire , this @ParineetiChopra starrer is actually a best film from Bollywood in the last 1 year . Deals with the topsy turvy life of Nehwal with its simple yet interesting life story , good screenplay and excellent direction.

The director of the film has done commendable job in presenting the character of #Saina the way it is without even minute dilation. With normal weekend , saturday would have seen crazy jump in its occupancy but with covid taking toll , it is not in good position at BO.
