Reception
Bollywood Hungama rated the film with 1.5/5 stars and wrote "AANKH MICHOLI fails to induce laughs and is laced with a very bad climax. A film like this would be ideal for TV viewing and won’t stand a chance on the big screen. Bhavna Agarwal of India Today rated the film with 1.5/5 stars and wrote "At times, when comedies have gotten smarter with their writing, ‘Aankh Micholi’ seems like a misfit." Kartik Bhardwaj of The New Indian Express rated the film with 1.5/5 stars and commented "Peak-a-bore".
Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated the film with 1.5/5 stars and called it a "Outdated Humour" and wrote "The biggest drawback is its very outdated look and humour, which even TV sitcoms have outgrown." Avinash Lohana of Pinkvilla rated the film with 1/5 stars and wrote "The overall screenplay and its treatment is highly mediocre, with most of the jokes not landing at all" "scenes are even cringy, especially the climax sequence which somehow makes no sense at all."
