Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: 1.5/5 | 3/10

Shilajit Mitra | The New Indian Express: 1.5/5 | 3/10

Shubham Kulkarni | Koimoi: 2.5/5 | 5/10
Yami Gautam Is A Surprise Package In A Film With Lazy Editing & People Advising The PM To Take Audience Polls Seriously. A Thursday is a Yami Gautam show and she does bring her A-game on. But the set up ditches her a bit ... Full Review

India Today: 4/5 | 8/10
In conclusion, we can just say that Yami Gautam's A Thursday is the perfect thriller to watch. It is executed well and has a taut script. It’s a film that should have ideally come in cinemas. We highly recommend it ... Full Review

123 Telugu: 2.75/5 | 6/10
A Thursday is a kidnap drama that has a good premise. Yami Gautam does a good job with the performance and the last half an hour is exciting. But the middle portions are boring and dragged for no reason. If you are the one who loves thrillers, give this film a shot ... Full Review

नीरज पांडे की फिल्म अ वेडनेसडे कल्ट क्लासिक फिल्मों में गिनी जाती है, उसके सामने अ थर्सडे दमदार साबित नहीं हुई। लेकिन यामी गौतम की फिल्म भी देखने लायक है। परिवार के साथ यह फिल्म जरूर देखना चाहिए क्योंकि इसमें बेहद महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दे पर बात की गई है। ... Full Review

Cathartic and relevant, but the film suffers from too much ardor. A thriller that replicates the common man vigilantism of Neeraj Pandey’s ‘A Wednesday’—but with far less potency and skill ... Full Review

Shomini Sen | WIONews: - | 7/10

Desi Martini: 2/5 | 4/10
Yami Gautam's hostage drama operates strictly outside the realm of believability. While Bollywood simply seems to have done away with dramas without a social message, all the effort put into the big reveal of it in this particular instance is simply taxing ... Full Review

Subhash K Jha | IWM Buzz: 2.5/5 | 5/10
