Since its release, this film has been widely discussed on various social media platforms. The production house Dee Company is considered to have exploited the grief still felt by the late Vina's family for mere profit. However, this was denied by Dheeraj Kalwani, the producer of the film VINA: BEFORE 7 DAYS.

Quoted from the press release received by the media, he stated that the reason the family agreed to bring Vina's story into the film was so that the public could be more concerned about the case. This is also influenced by the fact that there are still three murder suspects who have not been caught to this day. Therefore, it is hoped that the police can thoroughly investigate the case to provide proper justice for Vina. Al-Fatihah.

“No respect at all, lol. The deceased's secrets are made into a film even though the purpose is 'maybe' to educate,” said one social media user.

“Crazy, willing to sell the suffering of their own family members. pretending it's 'justice for Vina'. Even though there are other better and humane ways,” added another.

However, many people feel grateful for this film. The case of the late Vina's death is expected to be resolved soon with more people watching the film.

“Those who don't like the film, just don't insult or criticize someone's work. If you don't like it, just don't watch it. Continued success to everyone involved in this film,” supported one viewer.

“It's not in vain to rush to hunt for tickets because of curiosity during the initial launch. Just have to watch... The film is so good, keep monitoring until the perpetrator is caught,” added another.
