Reception
Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave the film two and a half out of five stars stating "The story is griping in the beginning but tends to get a bit draggy towards the end. However, the final nail in the coffin is its unrealistic climax."[4]
Writing in News 18 Rohit Vats states "Minor flaws overlooked, Halahal is engaging for sure, and its lead talents are quite impressive. With careful project selection, the director can offer much more."[5]
The Free Press Journal gave the movie three stars out of five and Heer Kothari states "Impressive performances make this film watchable."[6]
