Reception

Critical reception

Harshada Rege from Times of India gave it 3/5 and called it "Music makes this love triangle an entertaining watch." [13] Sonil Dedhia from Mid-Day gave 3/5 and stated "Happy Hardy and Heer is a harmless, watchable film – sad, because it could have been better. It has its moments in the first half, while the second looks a bit dragged. With well- crafted romantic and intense moments, the film is a breezy love story." [14] The Economic Times gave it 3/5 and stated "an amusing watch despite wafer-thin plot & weak screenplay." [15]

Conversely, Nandini Ramnath from Scroll.in gave it 2/5 and stated "There is barely anything new in the situations between Heer and the two men in love with her. Besides, both the leads look a bit too seasoned to be playing the love-at-first-sight game. Despite the high volume at which the dialogue is delivered – Reshammiya is subtlety itself compared to Sonia Mann – almost nothing resonates." [16] Moumita Bhattacharjee of Rediff.com gave the film 1 out of 5, calling it "an extented music video." [17]

Box office

The film collected ₹5 million (US$60,000) on its opening day. [18]
