SpotboyE Editor Vickey Lalwani rated the film 4.5 stars and wrote, “Akshay leads the way and he looks so handsome in those glasses. Brilliant performance. Watch him in the scenes with the antagonist Dalip Tahil. Watch how he treats his second-in-command Vidya and you will have a lump in your throat. Watch him how he fires Sonakshi. The list is long. And don't forget to note in this highly engaging film how Mr Kumar beautifully underplays himself!”
“Think of it, isn't Akshay himself on a mission in his
career? How smartly and calmly he continues to make the right choices and bring
the audiences to the theatres! This man is passionately in love with cinema,
and mind you passionately is a modest word. Hats off! I must go to Sonakshi
before Vidya, not that Sonakshi has scored more than Vidya. You just can't
decide in MM who scores that extra inch from the whole lot,” his review further
read.
