Reception

Critical response

Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote "The insipid writing, functional performances by an ensemble cast that includes Satish Kaushik, Kitu Gidwani and Parmeet Sethi, and contrived emotions add up into a stale serving of a cinematic sub-category that has run its course". Raktim Rajpal from News18 India says "To cut a long story short, ‘Wedding Pullav’ is a stale and boring attempt at storytelling. Stay away from it at all costs". Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote "However, some credit must be given to ‘Chintuji’ for enacting his bit with absolutely sincerity. The music, which has been composed by Salim Sulaiman, is decent. The title track is the pick of the lot. The same sadly can't be said about the editing. The film's opening sequence as well as its climax feel like a stretch. They could have been shortened".
