Speaking about the significance of the day, Rajeev Khandelwal said, "I think it is important to celebrate Men's Day because it can make them realize that they are looked up to for what they stand for. Times have changed and popular culture needs to reflect the more progressive and mature side of men. Even a little shift in the portrayal of men can have a huge ripple effect through society. Thankfully, we are now beginning to see that men can be vulnerable too. Men too have started accepting gender equality and this is a welcome shift."

On the other hand, Joy Sen Gupta said, "Big blockbusters still have all the all-conquering hyper masculine men, projecting machismo at different level. This day, to me, signifies that men should be more sensitive, more inclusive, and move away from machismo".
