[11] G. Dhananjayan, South Business chief of UTV, stated that, unlike the original version, which received an adult rating, the remake would be made for a family audience, making clear that the core plot would be retained, while the dialogue would be changed and "risque jokes" be avoided.

[14] Vijay Raaz, who portrayed the main antagonist in Delhi Belly, was approached to reprise his role.

The director has ruined a perfectly good script and has given an absolutely boring version of the exciting and racy Delhi Belly.

From beginning to end, the film follows the same pace and all the scenes are so boring and slow, you could actually sleep through the entire movie.

[20] in.com rated it 2.5 out of 5 and stated "Settai is watered down version of Delhi Belly and lacks the punch of the original".

The adult comedy which made the original film 'Delhi Belly' a blockbuster has been completely toned down in this version".

[6] Shailesh K Nadar of CinemaSpice.in rated Settai as 3/5 mentioning in his review that "It’s not bad, but would have been a better entertainer by following the essence of the original more faithfully.

Baradwaj Rangan of the Hindu wrote "Those who haven’t seen Delhi Belly will probably find all this fresh, while for the rest of us the sole saving grace is Santhanam’s brand of comedy...the rhyming gags aren’t exactly new, but the zingers keep coming at such a pace that even with a fifty per cent success rate, we’re still left with some amusement.

[24] RJ Balaji who reviewed the movie on SoundCloud tweeted he got threatening calls from UTV employee.
