DNA India says Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt's chemistry keeps the film engaging despite a predictable and average plot.

Hindustan Times says the film is clever and commendable, with a welcome focus on female independence. It gets preachy and falters in places, but the lead pair keeps it engaging.

Koimoi says the romance is likeable, Varun and Alia shine together and the social message adds value. It also questions the film's treatment of stalking and harassment.

BollywoodLife says Varun Dhawan steals the show with a funny and emotional performance, while Alia Bhatt is strong and confident. The film is entertaining and meaningful.

Bollywood Hungama says Varun and Alia's chemistry, humour and social message make the romance highly entertaining. A stretched second half and convenient ending are the main weaknesses.

News18 says the film has its heart in the right place and tackles worthwhile social issues, but clumsy writing and some confused messaging stop its progressive ideas from fully working.

Filmibeat says Varun steals the show and the film mixes romance, humour and social issues well. The second half slows down and the writing loses focus.

The Times of India says Varun and Alia's easy chemistry, humour and performances make the familiar story enjoyable. The long runtime and obvious climax are drawbacks.

India TV News says Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt share excellent chemistry and keep the romance lively and entertaining.

India Today says Alia and Varun are charming and the film makes useful points about women's choices, but several jokes, scenes and social messages do not work well.
