Bachchhan Paandey received mixed reactions upon its release. The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Bachchhan Paandey, as a whole, is a masala flick, which Akshay Kumar fans can’t complain about. With an interesting plot at hand, it could have been much better, but as of now, it’s surely a one-time-watch for those with a penchant for comedy.”
