Critics at a glance
Rediff
"Despite Ayushmann's sharp presence making the most of his foggily written part pulling through extremes of fun and ferocity, Udta Teer misses the bullseye by a mile"
Also: "But its abandonment of cheer altogether to turn into a strangely aggressive, regime pleasing commodity of post-Dhurandhar Bollywood is a tonal shift at its most jarring"

Bolly Movie Reviewz: 3.7/5
"Udta Teer has plenty of promise, but its glaring change of identity ultimately derails it. What could have been an irreverent spy satire loses its nerve and retreats into familiar territory"
Also: "Its first half delivers the laughs without resorting to cheap tricks, and its cast is more than happy to play along with the madness"

Filmibeat
"Udta Teer is a fun spy comedy that attempts to explore a familiar genre through an unconventional premise. The film is neither extraordinary nor consistently brilliant, but it offers enough humour to make for a reasonably entertaining one-time watch"
Also: "Ayushmann Khurrana is the film's biggest strength. The actor appears comfortable in this quirky space and brings the right mix of confusion, comic timing, and energy to Bilal Ahmed"

Koimoi
"All in all, the film is supremely entertaining, but above all, the script is very intelligent in its complex structure"
Also: "Ayushmann Khurrana enters the spy genre with a flourish and keeps his performance correctly restrained and understated. He is utterly natural as both Bilal and Vikrant and is excellent in his sequences with Ashfaq and Tahir"

PINKVILLA
"The screenplay prioritizes comic chaos which can make some moments feel far-fetched"
Also: "The film's biggest strength occasionally becomes its biggest weakness, as the comedy comes at the expense of narrative logic"

The Free Press Journal: 2.5 stars
"Udta Teer is not what you call a masterpiece, but its entertaining in parts, where it has its moments"
Also: "If there is one actor in this entire movie who without a doubt is the real star here- it's Mukul Dev (as terrorist Azhar Maqsood)"
