India TV finds the romantic comedy uneven and burdened by unnecessary horror and subplots, though it contains intermittent humour.

Filmibeat considers it a decently funny film with effective one liners, enjoyable music and a positive message, although the second half becomes stretched.

BollywoodLife says the film begins with some amusing 1990s nostalgia but gradually fizzles into a lacklustre comedy.

Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri cannot save the film once its weak script, unnecessary tracks and tonal confusion take over.

Koimoi says a potentially engaging comedy loses focus by mixing crime, social messaging, melodrama and a strange supernatural detour.

Pinkvilla views the film as an affectionate throwback to the broad ensemble comedies audiences once enjoyed, praising several performers and comic exchanges.

NDTV describes it as an ungainly, illogical mess that moves between the absurd and the asinine without generating sustained humour.

India Today calls the film a bland mixture of comedy, horror and melodrama that becomes a yawnfest after showing early promise.

The Indian Express calls it a sluggish comedy dependent on cheap jokes, sexual innuendo and dated stereotypes. Rajkummar Rao works hard and Triptii Dimri is appealing, but the critic finds only a handful of genuinely amusing lines.

Times of India says the search for the missing intimate video becomes tiring as the film strains to be funny, nostalgic and socially meaningful simultaneously.
