Average Reviews
2.5 "a great film if Priyanka’s styled look, John’s backside, Abhishek’s charm and a few funny moments are worth your time"
- Sify
2.5 "It's all in fun. Not to be taken seriously"
- Subhash Jha
2.5 "a good time-pass weekend watch with great performances by the lead actors. Its utterly insensitive, at times offensive… but what more can we expect from a mindless comedy"
- IndiCine
Negative Reviews
2.0 "one of those mindless comedies which would have been more entertaining if it hadn't been for the insensitive and stereotypical portrayal of gays"
- Now Running
2.0 "a film that is kabhi funny, kabhi uncomfortably squishy and squirmish, decently entertaining all through until it fizzles out faster than Diet Pepsi with a lame end"
- Now Running 2
2.0 "This film is a joke; but the last thing we need is India thinking homosexuality's just another gag"
- Rediff
2.0 "does not push the envelope enough, though it does boldly cast one of its heroes as a nurse, not a doctor, mind you"
- Outlook India
1.5 "Not worth-watching "
- IndiaGlitz

- Music 'N Movies
1.5 "No thanks, for this film . .. Intentions apart, this is exasperating entertainment"
- Mumbai Mirror
