Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that, "Director Shona Urvashi gets the technique of film-making right, but is let down by the writing [Abbas Tyrewala, Shona herself]. The script fluctuates from plausible to implausible with regularity and that’s where it falters." [2] Ron Ahluwalia of Planet Bollywood gave the film a rating of 6 out of 10 saying that, "Chupke Se... is an attempt at an entertaining venture that just doesn't cut it. Ridden by cliches, incongruities, unnecessary use of derogatory language, below average direction and a supersaturated plot, this movie can simply be judged as amateur." [3] Namrata Joshi of Outlook gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "Chupke Se is an earnest first attempt which could have been so much more fun. The gags and pranks don't really sparkle." [4]
