Tara gets Babli free by offering them all the money, but discovers that Chandel has tracked them down and kidnapped all the kids in the orphanage.

[21][22][23][24][25] Utpal Acharya, Distribution Head of Reliance Entertainment said that they had planned for a release on 4000 screens, but Pawan Kalyan's Telugu film Atharintiki Daaredi, released on 27 September 2013, received a phenomenal response in advance booking and occupied some screens which they had planned in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala for Besharam.

[29][30] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 1.5 stars out of 5 and stated that the film proves the adage "'All that glitters is not gold' is absolutely right.

"[31] Mohar Basu of Koimoi gave it 1.5 stars out of 5 and felt that "Besharam has too many shortcomings and lacks the ravishing junk delight of calamitous ending that commercial flicks usually generate".

"[33] Mohammad Kamran Jawaid of Dawn gave the film a mixed review writing that "it is apparent that Mr. Kashyap wanted a slickly made conventional blockbuster, and therefore relies on a mixture of tired and inflexible elements the audience is known to respond to".
