Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Jul 23
1.5/5
There are enough adept actors in this ensemble, led by Dosanjh, for us to expect an engaging whodunit. But the treatment is flat, making the characters even flatter, as they come on to say their lines and disappear into the wings. Go to Full Review Sucharita Tyagi Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Jul 29
Diljit shows as much interest in bringing Sherdil to life as he has in promoting the film, which is to say, none at all. Go to Full Review Ronak Kotecha The Times of India Jul 23
2.5/5
Unfortunately, this murder mystery leans so heavily on predictable genre tropes that even its twists feel painfully obvious...the film attempts to deliver a snappy whodunit-meets-dark comedy, but ends up feeling like a checklist of missed opportunities.

3/5
...unlike Housefull 5 (A and B) and 36 China Town, the final twist doesn’t feel frivolous. It not only compliments the essence of the story but also exposes the fragility of dysfunctional relationships and dying emotional dynamics. Go to Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Jul 23
Everyone in the cast – especially Sumeet Vyas and Ratna Pathak Shah – seems ready for a Knives Out-style romp. Detective Sherdil is thick with amiability but thin on the kind of detective work that even knowingly silly crime films need. Go to Full Review Shilajit Mitra The Hindu Jul 23
Though he never breaks the fourth wall, Sherdil talks frequently in voiceover, at times speeding through whole conversations to hand us the gist. The jokey dialogue writing does poorly by his rapid-fire mind. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
