Reception

Titas Chowdhary of News18 gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Despite its idiosyncrasies, Ruslaan entertains because it is unapologetic in its appeal. Aayush Sharma manages to carry the film comfortably on his shoulders." [16] Riya Sharma of DNA India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Aayush Sharma impresses with his top-notch action sequences in Karan Butani's Ruslaan. It is a film that has all the essential ingredients of an action entertainer." [17]

Arushi Jain of India Today gave 3/5 stars and wrote "While Ruslaan had the potential to be an engaging drama like Mission Kashmir or a cat-and-mouse chase like Tiger and Pathaan, it missed the mark." [18]

Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Ruslaan focuses heavily on pandering to the masses with a relentless dose of action and thrill but not much logic. It’s a formulaic actioner that is entertaining in parts if you prefer adrenaline over intricate plots." [19] Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost gave 2.5/5 stars and termed that the film is forgettable, but not without its guilty pleasures. [20]

Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Ruslaan has good, watchable action and few scenes succeed to grab the attention of the viewers. Apart from that, there's nothing much that goes in favour of the film." [21]

Shubham Kulkarni of OTTplay gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Ruslaan suffers because it uses a formula that is used by many others and there is only a certain way it can be redone now without feeling mundane. Aayush Sharma indeed has a lot of potential, but these are not the projects that will bring that out." [22] Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Ruslaan is a showreel of Aayush Sharma’s talent and nothing beyond that" [23]

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "It has action, music, emotions and a whole lot of hollow rhetoric and bravado, all crammed into two hours of relentless overdrive." [24] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote "Aayush Sharma film takes you back to the era when Bollywood flicks didn’t really bother about coherent plots as long as there were enough formulaic set-pieces." [25]
