Chino received positive responses from both critics and audiences, particularly praising its screenplay and the performances of the lead actors, especially Shiva Shrestha and Sunil Thapa. The film became a massive blockbuster at the box office, ultimately becoming the highest-grossing Nepali film of the 1990s and the second-highest-grossing Nepali film of all time at that point, following Kusume Rumal.
The film’s music, composed by Ranjit Gazmer, was highly popular, with songs like “Mohani Lagla Hai” and “Batasa Le Udai Lyayo” remaining favorites among audiences even today.
Chino is considered one of the best Nepali films ever made and remains a cult classic in Nepalese cinema. Its success contributed significantly to the popularity of action dramas in Nepal and solidified Tulsi Ghimire’s reputation as a leading filmmaker in the industry.
