Reception[edit]
A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Bhaiyya Ji rests on a decent first half and Manoj Bajpayee’s massy performance, but the film fails to impress."[18]
Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2/5 stars and notes "A film with a one-line plot needed a lot more pizzazz, whistle-worthy dialogue and a large-than-life, invincible protagonist. Karki makes a Rajinikanth kind of actioner (Bhaiyya Ji fights with a bidi in his mouth) but with a realistic soul, and falls between two boats."[19]
