Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3 stars out of 5, writing ″On the whole, DHOL is a decent entertainer that has some really funny comic moments.
At the box-office, the Priyadarshan brand should ensure impressive footfalls at cineplexes despite the dull period and coupled with its moderate pricing, DHOL should find a place in the director's successful films.″[5] Syed Firdaus Ashraf of Rediff.com gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 calling it ″funny in parts.″[6] Rajeev Masand gave the film 1 star out of 5, writing ″I’m going with one out of five and a suggestion to stay far, far away from Priyadarshan’s Dhol.
