Author and SpotboyE.com’s reviewer Khalid Mohamed
gave two stars to the film. He wrote: “Farhan Akhtar-led prison escape
drama, supplemented with music, is a sorry aama gaama paa. This spin on
musicians emerging from within prison walls is culled from facts, a tribute to
the Healing Hearts Band from the city of erstwhile nabobs who’d sup on
delectable kabobs. Sincere apologies, but the ensuing cuisine of muzak, prison
break plans and much ado-dah about violent rivarly between the cellmates is
enough to set off a tummy rumble. Grumble.”

“In any case, the
plot premise isn’t exactly novel. Forget the forgettable Yashraj banner’s Qaidi
Band. Vestiges of this devils-turned-singing-angels have alreay been
evidenced in Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock (1957). Whoa, a compere even raves,
“Welcome to Jailhouse Rock 2017.” Gotcha. As for the business of reforming
hardened criminals, flashback kindly for a minute to V. Shantaram’s Do Aankhen
Baarah Haath (1957), inspired by an open experiment at a prison close to
Satara,” he further wrote.
Coming
back to the film’s opening collection, well, as earlier stated by trade
pundits, Lucknow Central’s survival through the weekend looks crucial.
