Reception

Dilli Gang received generally negative reviews from critics. The film was one of the worst movie of 2013. Faheem Ruhani of India Today stated, "Even competent actors such as Jariwala, Kulkarni, Sharma and Dalvi cannot lift this film in which the germ of idea is good one but its execution is rather poor. May be this film sounded great on paper to the above four acting talents. Sadly, none of it shows on screen." [3]
