Reception

Shubra Gupta from The Indian Express gave a mixed review stating "Divyenndu has a smart mouth on him, and makes the most of Bicchoo Ka Khel, but even he needs a new schtick." [4] Archika Khurana from Times Of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and stated "Fans of Divyenndu Sharma aka Munna Bhaiya from Mirzapur will not be disheartened with his act as Akhil Shrivastav. He is back with a bang – mouthing dialogues laden with cuss words, his expressions and comic timing is just brilliant. Anshul Chauhan as his girlfriend Rashmi Chaubey has nailed it. Her chemistry with Divyenndu is endearing and turns out to be one of the highlights of the show." [5] Gautam Batra from Koimoi wrote "Anshul Chauhan is too good. She lends a very good performance and looks so cute. Her chemistry with Divyenndu is endearing and one of the highlights of the show." [6] Prathyush Parasuraman from Filmcompanion stated the moview as "It's a feel-good low-budget masala genre." [7]
