Hindustan Times says Irrfan, Saba and Deepak Dobriyal make the social comedy funny and effective. It becomes preachy and too dramatic near the end but strongly delivers its message.

Koimoi says the relatable story, humour and excellent performances make the film both entertaining and meaningful while exposing problems in the education system.

BollywoodLife says Irrfan and Saba Qamar put on a terrific show in an appealing social satire. Strong humour and performances overcome some convenient writing and a stretched climax.

Bollywood Hungama says the film is relevant, funny and emotional, with a strong script and excellent performances that make its social message highly entertaining.

News18 says the film has clear shortcomings and loses focus, but Irrfan's winning performance keeps it watchable and makes the journey worthwhile.

Filmibeat says Irrfan is brilliant and the crisp humour makes the social satire entertaining. The second half becomes preachy and the climax could have been stronger.

The Times of India says the relevant story, sharp humour and strong performances make the film highly engaging. The climax is stretched and predictable, but the message lands well.

India TV News says the film tackles an important subject with good performances, but becomes too dramatic and could have been more practical in delivering its message.

India Today says Irrfan and Saba Qamar are excellent and the humour works well. The story becomes predictable and too dramatic later, but the journey remains worth watching.

The Indian Express says Irrfan gives a fine performance, but flat writing, broad characters and confused handling of the social message hold the film back.
