An action entertainer set in Lucknow that brings us up close with the carefree world of Adi (Abhimanyu Dasani), a pampered no-gooder who has lived all his life under the protection of his elder brother, Raman. The loving bond between the two brothers is strained when Raman decides to get married to Avni (Shilpa Shetty). Avni is a no-nonsense woman of today, and lives her life with tremendous integrity. As she enters Raman's life, Adi loses his primary importance, leading him to despise his sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart. However, fate has other plans, as Adi and Avni find each other at loggerheads in a brutal, lawless town. Will they survive? Can they drop their differences and stand up for each other, and most importantly will they live to see another day?

Clearly, logic isn’t Sabbir Khan’s forte; I could make peace with that if his films also provided some entertainment.

Abhimanyu Dassani struggles to rise above the script. Shirely Setia is a fetching presence but she has some way to go before she can be regarded as a finished article.

Rated: 1/5

The Times of India

Overall, the film could have done a lot if the writing was more clearly structured, the editing tighter and the direction a lot more focussed on finer details of the story and characters.

Rated: 2/5

Sabbir Khan's film is an unbearable watch that gets almost nothing right, including lead pair Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia's chemistry. Shilpa Shetty is the one saving grace here.

If only the action scenes were balanced by the drama, we’d have gotten a better film.

It's a fun movie, with a nice love song in the middle. The plot modulates violentlh from rom-com to action after the first hour, but that's not uncommon in Indian films. Also, the question of how a great cricket player also became a world-class martial artist goes unanswered, but come on... it's not meant to be high literature. There seem to be a lot of sharply negative comments here that spring from the rivalry between Bollywood and Tollywood, especially because this movie is a remake from the former of a film whose original verion from the latter (2017's "Middle Class Abbayi"). I won't jump into that briar patch myself, but for those who are wondering my there are so many 1-star ratings for what is a perfectly nice film.

'Nikamma' is an abysmal action comedy let down by its mediocre execution and rudimentary storytelling.

This movie is a total waste of time and money. a piece of sh*t, every Character's Arc feels very sick and incomplete like if the actors are forced to act, worse experience than Heropanti 2. And if you really wanna know the story go watch the original movie.
