Reception

CNN-IBN gave 3 stars describing the movie as "The film is funnier and slightly less misogynistic than the prequel." Hindustan Times praised the performance of the actors, stating "All the actors fit perfectly into their characters: The boys effortlessly depict what men often discuss during boys’ talk and the girls play dumb as and when the character demands." The Hindu review stated "Carrying forward the flavour of the original, it is a film that many men make in their minds!" The Economic Times review mentioned "Sure, the film may resonate with the masochistic sorts who like taking a whipping in love or even those who enjoy a few laughs no matter the joke, but the rest can easily skip this one."

The seven minute long monologue featuring Kartik Aaryan was one of the highlights of the movie.
