Koimoi calls the movie a perfect Diwali bonanza and praises Kartik Aaryan as the film’s high point. The review enjoys the screwball comedy, clean humour, horror comedy blend, large scale, VFX, and “Ami Je Tomar” sequence.

The review says the film has some laugh out loud moments and decent VFX, with Kartik and Arun Kushwah’s camaraderie working well, but the plot is convenient and the screenplay inconsistent.

4/10
The verdict is negative, star power cannot save a lacklustre film with unexplained flashbacks, mediocre jokes, predictable jump scares, and only Vidya Balan/Madhuri Dixit keeping it from being weaker.
