Critic Consensus

Critical reception for Krishnashtami is largely negative, with reviewers broadly agreeing that the film is formulaic, predictable, and offers nothing new. The most consistent praise across reviews is directed at Sunil's comedy and performance, which a few critics found entertaining despite the weak material.

"One can watch the film, for Sunil's performance and his style of comedy taking the routine story for granted."

"Indeed, Krishnashtami is just one more entry in that tall and wide pile. We wouldn't complain if it worked, but the movie barely holds itself together."

"Krishnastami is a good family entertainer which explains different emotions. If you want see an improved version of Sunil, then this film might satisfy you. Comedy in this film will surely attract you. There are too many songs in this film and some scenes will make you feel bored, Sunil's comedy, serious and love angels will surely entertain you."

"Yes, the audience doesn't seem to tire of watching the formulaic films but that time is fast approaching when they'll finally snap and shout - 'Enooooouuuugh!'. Krishnashtami hopefully rings the alarm bell."
