Reception

Critic Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote that "On the whole, MUMBAI MIRROR is for those who relish masala movies. Especially for the single screen circuit". [6] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "This is a terrible mishap of a film that doesn't hold a mirror to society, or the city, but rather stares at it with bloodshot eyes and a dagger in hand". [7] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Ankush Bhatt’s slick flick grittily exposes the nexus between seedy cops and sleazy bars barons, albeit with a lot of Dabangg-isms". [8] A critic from Koimoi wrote that "Mumbai Mirror is a terrible mistake. If you want to laugh at the utter nonsense going on on-screen, you might as well sit through it". [9]
