Reception.
Shubhra Gupta of "The Indian Express" gave 1.5 stars out of 5 and saif that "Arshad Warsi is such a pleasing performer that he manages to lift even the worst things he is in. Playing a central character usually gives a good actor something to do. Not here."
Rishabh Suri of "Hindustan Times" said that "Arshad Warsi's misguided film on the insurgency in Punjab ends up being tone deaf."
Devesh Sharma of "Filmfare" rated this 2.5/5 stars and said that "Bandaa Singh Chaudhary is a melodramatic film around Punjab’s militancy problem in the ’80s and how it’s still relevant today."
Ganesh Aaglave of the "Firstpost" gave 3 stars and praised the film and saying that "Bandaa Singh Chaudhary deserves appreciation for narrating the untold part of history"
Dhaval Roy of "The Times of India" gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and observed that "With a deeper exploration of the socio-political scenario and tighter narrative, 'Bandaa Singh Chaudhary' would have been a standout film. Instead, it doesn't reach its potential and leaves much to be desired."
Simran Singh of "DNA" gave 3 stars and said that "Overall, Bandaa Singh Chaudhary is a film that doesn't show Punjab and Sikhs in bad light, but it claims to project a phase where extremists, disguised as Sikhs, misguided the youth. Despite being predictable, Bandaa Singh Chaudhary shines and packs a punch."
Mayur Sanap of "rediff.com" gave 1.5 stars and criticized the film by saying that "Bandaa Singh Chaudhary compromises on its hard realism to go after an easily digestible, mass entertainer that undoes everything that the film had set out to say".
