Check out the reviews below:
Ananya Bhattacharya of India Today writes: "Vinod Kapri's debut into Bollywood on the back of his 'Miss Tanakpur' buffalo is a bumpy ride. Heaps of squandered potential make one sigh at Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho."
Tanul Thakur of Firstpost said: "The biggest disappointment in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Hois that unlike other mediocre Bollywood films, it held a lot of promise; it could have said so much and so easily about the kind of people we are slowly becoming, about us being buffoons living gratuitously serious lives."
Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times said: "The biggest disappointment in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho is that unlike other mediocre Bollywood films, it held a lot of promise; it could have said so much and so easily about the kind of people we are slowly becoming, about us being buffoons living gratuitously serious lives.
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV said: "An ensemble cast of seasoned character actors who know their onions inside out but aren't quite sure of their Haryanvi dictions raises Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho a few notches above the median."
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in writes: "The satire is seems confidently put across at first but then becomes illogical and unwieldy. Kapri is aiming for a tragicomedy about rural India, but some of his visuals are straight out of a horror movie."
