Reception

Bhaiyya Ji received mixed reviews from critics.

News 18 rated it 3 out of 5 praising Manoj Bajpayee's performance.[22] Jansatta too in its review commended Bajapyee and rated the film 3 out 5. [23]

News 24 too put a watch rating on the movie, raving about Bajpayee's performance while also praising Zoya Hussain and Surendra Vicky. It wrote, "Manoj Bajpayee excels in this role, bringing realism to the character with his desi swag and fitting perfectly into the action scenes, despite being 55."[24]

A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Bhaiyya Ji rests on a decent first half and Manoj Bajpayee’s massy performance, but the film fails to impress."[25]

Many other reviewers were not as warm towards the film. [26]

Anuj Kumar of The Hindu stated "After spelling out the premise, the narrative takes a predictable shape."[27] Shalini Langer of The Indian Express stated "There is a glimmer of hope that Karki is suggesting a Bihari sub-network that runs through cities such as Delhi that people like us see and not see – and that this could be Bhaiyya Ji’s biggest strength."[28]

Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2/5 stars and notes "A film with a one-line plot needed a lot more pizzazz, whistle-worthy dialogue and a large-than-life, invincible protagonist. Karki makes a Rajinikanth kind of actioner (Bhaiyya Ji fights with a bidi in his mouth) but with a realistic soul, and falls between two boats."[29]

Taher Ahmed for Deccan Herald rated 2 stars and commented "The actors playing antagonists do hold their own. But the direction fails to impress, and the action scenes are run of the mill."[30]

Abhimanyu Mathur for Daily News and Analysis praised Bajpayee's performance and stated "He is in Rajinikanth and Balakrishna territory here, playing an ageing but powerful hero. And the actor shows just why he is the most talented actor of his generation."[31]

Amit Bhatia of ABP News opined "‘Bhaiyya Ji’ feels like a film that would have been remarkable 20 to 25 years ago. In today's era of realistic cinema, it comes across as dated."[32]

Kartik Bhardwaj of Cinema Express gave 2 stars out of 5 to the movie and stated "Most of Bhaiyya Ji is all bark and no-bite."[33]

Pragati Awasthi of WION also gave a negative review and wrote "Keep your brain in snooze mode while watching this, as you won’t need to use much of it. With everything illogical happening on screen, this type of movie requires a brain shutdown."[34]

Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote "Bhaiyya Ji has several characters and scenes that similarly go nowhere."[35]

Box office

Released on 24 May 2024, Bhaiyya Ji collected a total of 11.52 crore at the worldwide box office.[2] [36]
