Critic consensus
Critical reception for Arjun Patiala was largely negative, with most reviewers finding the spoof comedy too unfunny and underdeveloped to sustain its runtime. The film's talented cast — particularly Diljit Dosanjh, Kriti Sanon, and Varun Sharma — was frequently acknowledged as a wasted asset rather than a strength. Critics consistently pointed to jokes that failed to land, lazy writing, and a clunky, rough-edged execution as the film's core failures. One reviewer noted the film ironically embodies the very stereotypes it attempts to parody.

Film review ·
With Diljit Dosanjh's high likeable quotient, faithful sidekick Varun Sharma's skills at delivering broadsides, pretty heartthrob Kriti Sanon's dazzling pearly-whites, and a host of reliable supporting acts, Arjun Patiala should have been much better than it is.
Film review ·
Spoof comedies can be a tricky affair and this one is way too underwhelming to tickle your funny bone for full two hours.
Film review ·
Diljit Dosanjh, Kriti Sanon's parody film fails to take off despite its talented cast. The punches don't land as stuttering and belching stand in for jokes.
Film review ·
Diljit Dosanjh is affable but profoundly bland as Arjun Patiala. Varun Sharma as Arjun's side-kick Onida and Kriti Sanon as Ritu Randhawa are tolerable.
Film review ·
With not a plausible storyline, poor jokes overflow, and even the actors are given a free rein with little effort.
Film review ·
A Profoundly Unfunny Comedy That Oversells Its Spoofy Tone...A feature-length comedy that somehow manages to embody all the lazy stereotypes it makes fun of
Film review ·
Arjun Patiala feels like a Punjabi film masquerading as a Bollywood one. The humour is deliberately rough and rustic and the filmmaking clunky. The hero has a glad eye, uses some utterly banal and incorrect lines about maa behen ki izzat but gets away from it all by giving a self-righteous lecture on consent.
