Reception

The Times of India panned the film, as they felt that it was "far too content being plain and passable. Replete with amateur jokes, the writing is worse than that of laughter shows." [5] The Free Press Journal also criticized BHK Bhalla@Halla.com, writing that it was "A threadbare situational comedy that tries hard to make it all look funny but fails miserably." [6]

In contrast, actor Tom Alter praised the movie, which he felt was comparable to Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro . [7] The Hans India was also more favorable, as they wrote that the movie "largely succeeds in narrating a good story in a light-hearted and funny manner." [8]
