Mihir Bhanage of TOI observed, "Sai is one actress who does well in whatever role she is given, and she doesn’t disappoint in her double role either" and concluded, "She is charming as the lover interest and effervescent as the daughter of Guru."[46] Paloma Sharma of Rediff wrote, "Tamhankar play both mother and daughter seemed risky at first, the actress manages to pull it off with ease. Her physical transformation for both roles is worth applause."[47] She was awarded the Best Actress Award at Sanskruti Kaladarpan. Next, she portrayed Professor in Manava Naik directed Por Bazaar, based on child trafficking.[48] After the success of Duniyadari, the trio Jadhav, Joshi, and Tamhankar collaborated on the romantic Pyaar Vali Love Story.[49] Upon release, the film received mixed reviews and moderate success at the box office.[50]
