Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Despite of three big dadas of comedy - Anupam Kher, Satish Shah, Satish Kaushik - sharing celluloid space in a single film, the outcome is not as expected". [3] Taran Adarsh, writing for Bollywood Hungama stated that "On the whole, Dhoom Dadakka could've been a decent timepass flick, but it misses the bus". [4] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN opined that "No prizes for guessing, I’m going with zero out of five for director Shashi Ranjan’s Dhoom Dadakka, it’s a showcase for some of the worst acting you’re likely to see at the movies in a long, long time". [5] Ameeta Gupta of Rediff.com rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and said that "Not a movie for all unless comedy is your poison". [6]
