News18, in its review, gave 4 stars to Himesh Reshammiya-starrer 'Badass Ravi Kumar'. "The experience it evokes is akin to everything you go through when you sit on a long, meandering, bumpy rollercoaster ride at an amusement park," the review read. "Kudos to Himesh for his off-the-road audaciousness...He knows what he's doing and is completely unapologetic about it," it added.
