Review of the film :
This film reviews are highly negative, criticise heavly mostly by all critics and also flop at the Box office.
Critics review :
- Times of India critics 2.5 star from 5 star and write that, “In this remake, Sajid Khan’s passion for the 80s kitsch is entertaining to begin with, but gets suffocating after a point. While few scenes (grand and outlandish) win ceetees, the rest try too hard to get any reaction. He also attempts ‘Nazi’jokes, gay-gags and revisits Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’, Only Himmatwalas be able to go and full movie”
- Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV gave only 1 and Half star from 5 star.
- Anupama Chopra from Hundustan Times gave only 1 star from 5 and stated that “Himmatwala is loud, puerile and so unfunny that it hurts.”
