2.5/5
DNA India says the film works best for viewers who enjoy mindless comedy and the familiar antics of Uday and Majnu. The humour provides some fun, but the film offers little beyond that.

News18 says the film is overlong and silly, but Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Paresh Rawal bring enough comic energy to produce several genuine laughs. The bloated climax weakens the film.

1.5/5
The Indian Express says the sequel struggles to recreate the light humour of the original. John Abraham and Shruti Haasan are weak, while the loud dialogue and messy story reduce the laughs.
