Reception


Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote, "chori" target="_blank">Chori chori" target="_blank">Chori is a Rani Mukerji film all the way. All the other actors have done their parts perfectly. The climax would have been better if wasn't so melodramatic and didn't have to carry the weight of two songs. What makes chori" target="_blank">Chori chori" target="_blank">Chori likeable despite its shortcomings is that it has a 'heart' -- the prime ingredient for any love story."
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Although chori" target="_blank">Chori chori" target="_blank">Chori has an interesting storyline, it suffers on account of a hackneyed screenplay. A story like this may've worked a few years ago, but it holds minimal appeal in the current scenario. The film starts off pretty well, but runs out of steam in the second half, mainly because too many songs have been incorporated forcefully."
