DNA India says the film has clear flaws but its sincere purpose and the strong chemistry between Akshay and Bhumi make it worth watching.

Hindustan Times says Akshay and Bhumi share strong chemistry and the first half is funny, but repeated messaging and a weaker second half limit its impact.

Koimoi says the film mixes laughs with an important issue and benefits greatly from Akshay and Bhumi. Its slow pace, songs and weaker second half hold it back.

BollywoodLife says Akshay and Bhumi give strong performances, but the film becomes far too long, slow and preachy to remain engaging.

Bollywood Hungama says the film combines entertainment with a strong social message effectively. It becomes slow and preachy later, but Akshay and Bhumi deliver strong performances.

News18 says Bhumi shines and Akshay brings humour to a worthy subject, but sloppy writing, excessive length and heavy messaging stop the film from fully working.

Filmibeat says the concept and performances work, especially Bhumi, but the long and repetitive second half becomes too preachy and slows the film down.

The Times of India says the satire delivers an important message with humour and strong performances. Akshay leads confidently, while Bhumi and the supporting cast add considerable strength.

India TV News says the film raises an important social issue and benefits from Akshay Kumar's sincere performance, but becomes too preachy and falls short of expectations.

India Today says Akshay and Bhumi are convincing and the humour works well, but the film becomes too preachy and openly supportive of the government in parts.
