Reception[edit]
Reviewing for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee rated the film 1 star and opined, "The film is so ham-fisted that it takes no more than ten minutes to give itself away."[5]
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote "It makes you wonder if anyone involved in this enterprise knows anything from anything: a premise also needs execution."[6]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated the film 2 stars and opnied "That Blackout isn't done with its introductions until interval point tells how chaotic the storytelling is. Truly though it's the lack of wit and bonhomie that puts a spoke in its wheel."[7]
Sana Farzeen for India Today stated "The film only manages to tickle the funny bone towards the last 10 minutes when all loose ends are tied."[8]
Simran Khan for Times Now rated 3 stars and wrote "The dialogues are funny enough to make you laugh, but the twists are so obvious that you're never on the edge of your seat, which is crucial for a crime thriller."[9]
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in stated "The 122-minute film is set over a single night that seems like several compressed nights."[10]
