[2] [3] [4] The makers of Ferrari Ki Sawaari sent a legal notice to the makers of this film for "piggyback[ing]" on that film to promote this one. [5]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Daboo Malik. In a music review of the film, a writer from Koimoi wrote that "In all it’s a short and to-the-point album.

Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "There are a couple of one liners (out-and-out adult, mind you) and moments that manage to make you laugh, somewhat. But then it’s all in flashes, primarily in the first half". [8] Mansha Rastogi of Nowrunning wrote, "With hackneyed writing, garbled storyline and cliched dialogues and jokes, 3 Bachelors is devoid of reasons for one to watch it". [9] A critic from BollywoodMDB wrote that "In the name of comedy, a dull film. To watch it in theatres is wastage of time and money!" [10]
