Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India rated this film three out of five stars and noted "All in all, The Boys is a wacky film with many well-thought-out comedy moments. It's a film in which Akira Kurosawa, Amitabh Bachchan, Bumble, and the song Kattipudi Kattipudida almost act as standalone characters, along with five friends and two police officers". [3]
Narayani M. from Cinema Express rated this film two out of five stars and noted "The film relies on the idea that men are wired a certain way and panders to the problematic notion of ‘Boys will be Boys’. Despite the director mentioning that the film would tackle the ill effects of alcoholism, the film never speaks about it except for the final perfunctory monologue". [4]
Manigandan KR from Times Now rated this film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and noted "In all, The Boys is a fairly engaging adult comedy entertainer that is worth a one-time watch". [5]
