Reception
A critic from Mid-Day wrote that "If comedy is what you are seeking, then this movie will dissappoint [sic] you".[7] A critic from Bangalore Mirror opined that "Chamkaisi Chindi Udyasi is a hotchpotch of various Hindi and English films garnished with stale jokes".[2] Film critic R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS stated that "'Chamakaayisi...' has many loopholes but it is worth a watch for the entertaining dialogues".[8] A critic from Filmibeat noted that "It is not director's movie, but it is of Komal Kumar, who rocks the audience all through movie. He tries to win the show with his mannerism, when dialogues fail".[1]
