A PIL was filed in the Bombay High Court seeking a ban on Baabarr for alleged negative portrayal of Muslims. The petitioner also charged that characters in the film were based on Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati. [5]
Baabarr is not much liked by the critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 3.5 out of 5 stars. [6] The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 stars & stated that "The film is not much impressive as expected, director Ashu Trikha & writer Ikram Akhtar did a well job but the thing making it unimpressive is that the director gets only the mood right, not the scenes, though the reviewer praised the performance of Om Puri by saying that it is Om Puri as the oily, wily and crooked cop, who steals the show". [7] Martin D'Souza of Bollywood Trade News Network gave it 1 out of 5 stars & said by calling the film a repetition that "the film is of old story with new cast & crew, Martin specially criticises the decision of making film with lead role of Soham Shah" [8]
The film was not good at the box office as it hardly netted an amount of ₹10 million (US$120,000) at the end of its first week after release & getting through the cinemas across India Baabarr at last managed to gross ₹15.1 million (US$180,000) & determined a Flop. [9] [10]
