 Izzat did not gather any significant reception in Pakistan and Izzat remained mostly a success within Norway.The movie was well received by the general public, not because of the ethnic theming of the movie, but rather for its engaging action and thriller suspense.The film was also met with some criticism from the public with the main criticism being that the film did not provide as satisfactory and slick action as a typical Hollywood film of the same genre which Norwegians had grown accustomed to.
