Times Now has reviewed the film and we have given it 2.5 stars. The critic stated, "The pressure of overstuffing the second half with cameos and connecting threads to the future movies bogs down its true potential. Thamma’s characters will feature in more films, and Aditya tries to focus mainly on building the universe rather than exploring the finer nuances of an impossible love story and the marriage of two worlds. The first half is rushed, predictable and plain boring.” After Thamma, Ayushmann Khurrana will next be seen in films such as Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, Sooraj Barjatya’ next with Sharvari and so on.
