The film received very negative reviews from critics. Most dismissed the film as slapstick. Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM rated the film as 1.5 stars out of 5, and said, Director Kunal Vijaykar tries hard to keep you entertained, but the writing is just not captivating. Sure, you do laugh at a few jokessituations, but there are times when the jokes arent too funny and also tend to get repetitive. Anupama Chopra of NDTV gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, and stated, Vijaykar and his actors are straining too hard to make you laugh at jokes that are simply too flimsy for film. Its exhausting more than entertaining. See it if you must. Nikhat Kazmi of The Times Of India gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, and said, Neither fruity nor nutty, this film ends up as a total squish. After an unfruitful watch, you feel completely let down. Kaveri Bamzai of India Today Group gave the filmstar out of 5, and said, Unfortunately, the writers seem to have exhausted themselves thinking of the funny names and the interesting premise. There is nothing beyond it, except for two senseless item songs, one each for Irani and Mirza to stretch their legs. Rajeev Masand of CNNIBN gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, and stated, Despite juvenile jokes like peeing on open electric wires, Fruit amp Nut is mercifully not the sort of vulgar comedy weve got used to seeing at the cinemas these days. Fruit and Nut failed to perform well at the box office, partly due to highbudget film like Blue and All The Best Fun Begins, which had released the previous week. The film earned around million in its first week, and was declared a flopdisaster. ........
