DNA India says Salman Khan dominates the film and Sonam Kapoor brings dignity to her role. Weak supporting characters and too many songs hurt the pace, but it remains a strong family watch.

Hindustan Times says Salman Khan is likable and his comic timing works, but the film feels dated, overly sentimental and trapped in an old family-drama formula.

Koimoi says Salman Khan, the grand sets and clean family entertainment work well, but the film is predictable, overloaded with songs and not suited to every viewer.

BollywoodLife says Salman Khan is the brightest part of the film, but the old fashioned filmmaking, excessive melodrama and long runtime make the experience disappointing.

Bollywood Hungama says the film is a colourful and emotional family entertainer with Salman Khan in excellent form. Too many songs and the long runtime are its main weaknesses.

News18 says Salman Khan is the main reason the film remains enjoyable. The story is predictable and the characters lack depth, but his comic and emotional performance keeps it moving.

Filmibeat says Salman Khan and Anupam Kher provide the best moments, but the long runtime, weak screenplay and too many songs test the viewer's patience.

The Times of India says Salman Khan is the film's biggest strength and handles both roles well. The colourful family drama has emotion and charm despite some scenes that could have been shorter.

India TV News says Salman Khan shines as Prem and his scenes with Anupam Kher work well, but the film suffers from weak writing and too much melodrama.

India Today says Salman Khan fits comfortably into Barjatya's family world and carries the film. It is long and filled with songs, but works for fans of Salman and traditional family dramas.
