[14] Kunal Guha of Mumbai Mirror gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that, "the twists and turns here seem more unnecessary than unexpected and the predictably painful expressions inevitably culminate in a headache." [15] Prasanna D Zore of Rediff gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "Aksar 2 is a film that gets you primed in the first half but is a sad squib in the second." [16] Shantanu David of News18 gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "with a different female lead and without the disconcerting songs, this would have been a pretty decent film." [17] Bollywood Hungama rated the film 1 out of 5 stars, commenting, "AKSAR 2 is a poor show all the way. It neither has enough sex nor thrill." [18]
