Critic consensus
Teen Thay Bhai received a near-unanimously negative critical reception, with reviewers finding the comedy largely unfunny and the film unable to establish a consistent tone. Critics across the board noted that the humour felt forced, ranging from juvenile slapstick to fart jokes, without landing genuine laughs. Several reviewers pointed out that the film wastes its lead actors, and that what little promise existed in the bungalow-set premise dissipates once the narrative moves into more chaotic territory. Only isolated moments were acknowledged as having any spark, with no aspect drawing widespread praise.

The film however lacks consistency and some of the comic situations fail to evoke any humour. While the brothers try to co-exist peacefully in the ramschackled bungalow and almost end up killing each other, the drama holds your interest. But as it moves out into the wilderness, with blondes, dogs, drugs and cops, it loses track.

Go only if you don't mind broad humour which overstates its case at every snowflake. Also, if you like your men being called Happy, Chiksi, and Fancy.

Loud and inert at the same time, Teen Thay Bhai is a film to be shunned simply because of how cruelly it treats three actors we should treasure.

If 'Teen Thay Bhai' was merely slapstick, you'd settle into it after a while. But the film never finds its tone. Apart from a few inspired moments of lunacy, this movie is schizophrenic to say the least, going from spoofy to bizarre to sentimental, and yet remaining consistently dull throughout.

Debutant director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba strains hard to make you laugh – Teen Thay Bhai includes everything from fart jokes to a purposefully loud Ram Leela – but I barely smiled. I'm going with one and a half star.

Hugely disappointing.
Film review ·
TEEN THAY BHAI doesn't even have teen (three) genuinely funny scenes. Watch it if you want to test your 'will' power.

Sometimes, you wish filmmakers wrote their own reviews to enlighten us on exactly what they've made.
Film review
Although the film is designed as a comedy, the jokes and anecdotes are either too forced or far from funny because of which the humour doesn't come across. The story line may be nice but the story is truly childish. On the whole, 3 Thay Bhai is a weak fare which will go down in box-office history as a non-starter.
