Reception

Perspective
Abhishek Srivastava of The Times of India rated it 2.5/5 stars and said that "‘Heer Express,’ in the end, offers “clean entertainment” only if your idea of fun is being stuck on a cinematic train that refuses to pick up speed."[11] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave it 2 stars out of 5 and said that "The first half drags, the second half never grips, and the film can't figure out what to do with its seasoned cast."[12] Sharva Srivastava of Times Now rated it 3/5 stars and stated that "Heer Express is a warm, feel-good film that celebrates resilience, love, and family bonds. Despite its flaws, predictability being the most prominent, the film has a lot of heart."[13]
Rachit Gupta of Filmfare gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "Heer Express is a rehash of the same-old Punjabi family drama mixed with a coming-of-age girl story."[14] Ria Sharma of Free Press Journal gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "Heer Express is a warm, feel-good entertainer that celebrates resilience, love, and family. It has its share of flaws—predictability being the biggest—but it also has heart."[15] Subhash K Jha of News 24 rated it 3/5 stars and commented that "Heer Express chugs along with a sweet, won’t-hurt-a-fly charm, but its manufactured crises fail to excite. Divita Juneja dazzles as Heer, yet Prit Kamani often steals the spotlight."[16]
Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and observed that "The comedy is unfunny, the emotional bits are dubious and the music forgettable in Heer Express."[17]
