Badhaai Ho has received positive reviews. The Indian Express Shubhra Gupta praised Neena Gupta and Gajraj Raos performances. She concluded her review with, “Whats refreshing is the thing between Rao and Gupta: both emit the lived-in spousal awareness of the long-married couple which only sometimes bursts into flames. They are sheepish when outed yet dignified, and I liked that the decision of what-to-do-with-the-pregnancy stays with the wife. And that age has nothing to do with desire. The smiles Kaushik Seniors exchange could teach the young uns, Khurrana and Malhotra, both efficient, a thing or two about getting it on. Yes, mummy and papa can.”
