Critical reception

The Times of India gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "all in all, the story falls into place at the end, despite the initial glitches".^[4] Sify wrote, "The makers of Bhaiyya Bhaiyya have just mixed melodrama, crass comedy, song n dance routines and some action sequences, without a proper recipe. Just like what happens in cooking, they end up making a tasteless dish".^[5] Rediff gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Bhaiyya Bhaiyya does provide a few chuckles, but nothing substantial".^[6] Nowrunning.com gave it a score of 1.8 out of 5 and wrote, "Sporadically bringing out a laughter or two, this is a film that very rarely engages us emotionally and which fundamentally falls apart at the seams".^[7] Indiaglitz.com gave it 6 out of 10 and wrote, "Evenly paced and filled with comedies, this light hearted film entertains in parts. Had it been directed with a little more care, ‘Bhaiya Bhaya’ could have worked relatively well".^[8]
