Anna MM Vetticad from Firstpost gave 2.5 rating out of 5 and wrote “Comedy Couple bravely picks several relevant subjects to cover: social conservatism, freedom of expression, religious bigotry, violent fundamentalism, media sensationalism and more. A pity then that its initially fun and fresh tone gives way to an ultimately superficial take on its primary area of focus: unmarriagehood in Gurgaon”[7] Anvita Singh from The Indian Express “The blend of romance, comedy and lies is not novel, but at least it has some potential, which is fully realised towards the fag end of the movie. It is then that we see characters truly coming into their own, tackling their fears, trying to resolve a central conflict and even evoking some laughter in the process”[8]

Soumya Srivastava from Hindustan Times stated “Saqib Saleem and Shweta Basu Prasad star in Nachiket Samant’s film about a couple in Gurugram who are trying to make it big in the comedy world. The film, while brave in a few choices it makes, is marred by unimpressive writing and performances”[9] Tiasa Bhowal from India Today shared her review “Comedy Couple gets really monotonous and Nachiket Samant does very little to lift it. The real downer is that even though the film is based on the life of two stand-up comedians, the jokes in the film are not even funny”[10]

The Scroll stated “The movie is salvaged by excellent chemistry between and sincere performances by Saqib Saleem and Shweta Basu Prasad. They have a sweet and believable vibe going, and in a film with less lazy writing and better gags, their efforts would have actually amounted to something”[11] Pallabi Dey Purkayastha form Times Of India wrote “Comedy Couple is your typical Bollywood rom-com with a fresh pair and even fresher central theme. Look the other way if you are pining to witness innovation in this genre, stay if you are in it only for the laughs”[12]
