This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, and the IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.1 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 6944.

Simple, great stunts, mindless slapstick comedy. Some jokes don’t land. A leave your brain at the door film. Good for a one time watch with family stretched out in front of the television on a Sunday afternoon.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 2 star out of 5 Star.
