Reception

Reviewing for NDTV , Saibal Chatterjee rated the film 1 star and opined, "The film is so ham-fisted that it takes no more than ten minutes to give itself away." [5]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated 0.5 stars and wrote "It makes you wonder if anyone involved in this enterprise knows anything from anything: a premise also needs execution." [6]

Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated the film 2 stars and opined "That Blackout isn't done with its introductions until interval point tells how chaotic the storytelling is. Truly though it's the lack of wit and bonhomie that puts a spoke in its wheel." [7]

Mahpara Kabir of ABP News rated 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "The most compelling aspect of the film is its constant unpredictability, which entertains and keeps the audience hooked until the very end." [8]

Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times stated "You’d overlook the poor execution if this bunch entertained, they don’t. Sadly, nothing works in the film's favour." [9]

Sana Farzeen for India Today rated 2 stars and stated "The film only manages to tickle the funny bone towards the last 10 minutes when all loose ends are tied." [10]

Simran Khan for Times Now rated 3 stars and wrote "The dialogues are funny enough to make you laugh, but the twists are so obvious that you're never on the edge of your seat, which is crucial for a crime thriller." [11]

Ganesh Aaglave for Firstpost rated 3 stars and wrote "Vikrant Massey acts well as Lenny but the show stealer is Sunil Grover as Bewdya aka Asghar Bhai. Mouni and Jisshu Sengupta have done what was expected of them." [12]

Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in stated "The 122-minute film is set over a single night that seems like several compressed nights." [13]
