Reception

The film received negative reviews from critics.The News Minute, rated the film 2/5 and stated that "Bombhaat suffers from clichéd, occasionally cringeworthy writing, that also trickles into the performances."^[7] Manoj Kumar of The Indian Express rated the film 1 star out of 5, and wrote "A sci-fi film that neither serves drama nor logic." Kumar opined that the director uses Hitchcock's quote "Where drama begins logic ends" as an excuse "to make an utterly nonsensical movie that neither serves drama nor logic."^[8]

The Hindu's Sangeetha Devi wrote about the film that "This isn’t science, just dull and drab fiction."^[9]
