Soon after the film's release, several viewers shared their reactions online. Many praised its light-hearted story, comedy and entertainment value.

One social media user wrote, “#DavidDhawan believes in one mantra - entertainment - and #HJTIHH offers that in abundance... A stress-buster that leaves you smiling.”

Another viewer praised Varun Dhawan’s performance and posted, “#VarunDhawan is absolutely owning the screen. The comic timing is on point, the dialogue delivery is effortless, and the energy level is through the roof.”

Ahead of the release, David Dhawan had spoken about the project and said, “This is my 46th film, and entertaining my audience continues to give me the biggest joy. The film has all the ingredients of a classic family entertainer, humour, confusion, music and heart.”

The film generated interest before its release as it brought together familiar collaborators and a new on-screen pairing.
