Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: 2/5The film clearly intends to be dark, edgy and cool. Trouble is, it spends too much of its time underlining its purpose, even getting a character to say these three adjectives ... Full Review

Namrata Joshi | The Hindu: 2/5In the film the issue feels too flat and tame. Somewhere Motwane gets too self-aware and conscious-be it the genre of superhero cinema he is playing with or the issue of corruption itself. The point gets belaboured and the film too protracted ... Full Review
Shilpa Jamkhandikar | Reuters: 3/5There is much to like here - the atmospherics, Painyuli's performance that is notches above Kapoor's, and Motwane's feel for noir, but his home-grown hero still falls short. Hopefully this will be a franchise ... Full Review
Sreehari Nair | Rediff: 1.5/5And the danger of an ideologue telling its story is evident in the many dramatic problems of Bhavesh Joshi ... Full Review

Uday Bhatia | Live Mint: 2/5Mumbai’s dark knight can’t rise to the occasion, is caught in a peculiar bind: it's a bit too competent to be dismissed, but not original or striking enough to dispel the feeling that it's all been done before ... Full Review
Nandini Ramnath | Scroll: 2/5Bhavesh Joshi Superhero works beautifully until the interval point before gradually losing its way to laboured plotting, implausible twists and banal moralising ... Full Review
Deccan Chronicle: 2/5Bollywood gets another superhero to laugh. It is enjoyable in parts but you won’t lose out on anything if you miss this one, rather watch any superhero flick from DC or Marvel ... Full Review
Roshan H Nair | Deccan Herald: 3.5/5Bhavesh Joshi may be the best Indian superhero yet ... Full Review
Mayank Shekhar | Mid-Day: 2/5Except the non-superhero on the screen, like the movie itself, merely moves around in convenient circles, and head-splitting cliches ... Full Review
Devesh Sharma | Filmfare: 3/5The film flirted with the concept of a common man being influenced by graphic novels and superhero movies to become a vigilante...it makes a case for a proper superhero origins film ... Full Review
Rahul Desai | Film Companion: 2/5To call Bhavesh Joshi Superhero a lost opportunity is a gross understatement. To compare it to the other genre misfires from this country would be a disservice to its aspirational tone ... Full Review
