DNA India says the film is a thoroughly enjoyable black comedy that delivers plenty of laughs, helped by Irrfan and its wicked sense of humour.

Hindustan Times says the film is refreshing and funny, with realistic storytelling and enjoyable performances from Irrfan Khan and Divya Dutta.

Koimoi says Irrfan is flawless and the supporting cast is excellent, making the dark, funny and unpredictable film a highly entertaining watch.

BollywoodLife says the dark comedy turns Dev's ordinary life into an entertaining chain of increasingly strange situations, with Irrfan holding the film together.

Bollywood Hungama says the film is an unusual and entertaining black comedy with smart writing and a style likely to appeal especially to multiplex audiences.

News18 says the film's dark sense of humour makes it worth watching, though its long running time requires patience.

Filmibeat says Irrfan and the supporting cast make the film entertaining, while clever writing keeps the strange blackmail chain interesting despite some slower portions.

The Times of India says the film is a wicked and enjoyable black comedy, with its strange characters, dark humour and clever plot providing plenty of entertainment.

India TV News says Irrfan Khan performs well, but the film is too slow and stretched, and its dark comedy does not deliver enough laughs or excitement.

India Today says Irrfan remains enjoyable, but the film lacks the pace and wild humour needed to make its complicated blackmail plot work.
