Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics. Rajeev Masand of CNNIBN rated the filmout ofsaying, Khatta Meetha is a schizophrenic film. Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave itsaying, The story with its baggage of generic turns and contrived twists seems all too familiar in making its evennow significant point. In addition, it seems a tad too long at its three hours running time. Mayank Shekhar of the Hindustan Times gave itand stated, This ones about wacky Akki alone. Truly, few things unite Indians, besides a high illiteracy rate, and films of Bollywood superstars. One benefits from the other. And Priyadarshan gets to churn out his own nobrainer remakes every other week. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 1.55 while stating, Khatta Meetha is a major letdown from the accomplished director. Its not a fullblown comedy. Its not a fullscale satire either. Hugely disappointing Noyon Jyoti Parasara of AOL rated the film 1.55 and stated, In no way does Khatta Meetha look like a film made by a director who has made 80 films till date. Certainly not from a director who got a National Award barely a year back for Kanchivaram. This one is a rather amateur product which is best avoided.
