Reception[edit]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 0% of 5 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5/10.[18]
A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Bhaiyya Ji rests on a decent first half and Manoj Bajpayee’s massy performance, but the film fails to impress."[19]
Anuj Kumar of The Hindu stated "After spelling out the premise, the narrative takes a predictable shape."[20]
Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2/5 stars and notes "A film with a one-line plot needed a lot more pizzazz, whistle-worthy dialogue and a large-than-life, invincible protagonist. Karki makes a Rajinikanth kind of actioner (Bhaiyya Ji fights with a bidi in his mouth) but with a realistic soul, and falls between two boats."[21]
Taher Ahmed for Deccan Herald rated 2 stars and commented "The actors playing antagonists do hold their own. But the direction fails to impress, and the action scenes are run of the mill."[22]
