Offcourse it is. Maine toh phele hee bola tha. Stree was actually good but Stree2 was over rated. Khel khel mein is a more fun watch and deserved to do better in theatres(sic),” a netizen wrote.
Another lauded Taapsee Pannu’s role in the film and said, “Watching #KhelKhelMein on Netflix and @taapsee is the best thing in the film! Can we have more films where she’s a proper Punjaban?”
An X user stated that the film is ‘fun’, and said, “This movie isn’t that bad as it was portrayed during its theatrical release. It’s fun to watch, a decent comedy film with faults here and there but it’s manageable. If you are looking for a good film this weekend, go for it!”
Another expressed ‘regret’ in missing the film in the theatres, “#KhelKhelMein is so so good… Regret not watching it in theatres and I personally found it to be even better than #Stree2.”

Another review by a netizen on X reads, “Just watched #KhelKhelMein. It was fun. Twist and turns made it a fantastic watch. Loved Akki’s punches timing. It should have dono more business in box office.”

“Saw #KhelKhelMein, mast movie this. But idk why Akshay is looking so much aged nd weak in it. Literally so much & neutral public compares him his age competitors saying akki looks younger but this film will change there opinion. Overall good film,” another penned.
