Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times rated the film with 1 out of 5 stars. Shakti Salgaokar of DNA gave movie a one and half stars and wrote in his review, Its simple — sexual innuendo, potshots at popular films, bad mimicry, foreign locations, a generous dose of overacting, an item song and a gora villain.

And as he magnificently presents the climax of the film. Spare us the comedy, please? Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India said, This ones definitely not for the fastidious, choosy viewer but for those who dont mind losing it for a bit, Shakalaka Boom Boom works like an average Bollywood musical. Performance-wise, its one big circus with the guys hogging most of the limelight. The girls — Kangana and Celina — are mere confetti and gave it 3 out of 5 stars. Taran Adarsh also gave it 3 out of 5 stars, saying Its a well-crafted entertainer and lives up to the expectations of its target audience — the youth.

At the box-office, its business at the multiplexes will help it generate good revenue, making it a profitable proposition for its investors.
