Reception
= Critical reception
=Rohit Khilnani of Rediff gave the film 1 out of 5, writing "KLPD is teeming with lame stereotypes. Homosexuals, especially, have been portrayed in an exaggerated manner. The jokes only get more stereotypical and distasteful. Girls are called Totta (a New Delhi slang for a hot chick), all the city cops are out to break every law, a young Sikh kid is asked, "Barah baj gaye kya?" and all middle class boys are a bunch of embarrassing skirt-chasers." Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing "Vivek Oberoi has the boyish charm that makes him do outlandish and outrageous stuff. He does it all with sincerity. Mallika Sherawat enacts her part monotonously. Ashutosh Rana is wasted. Ditto for Neha Dhupia. The remaining actors just fill the bill. On the whole, KLPD - KISMET LOVE PAISA DILLI is a comedy that neither entertains nor tickles. In fact, this comedy is more of a tragedy!" Rachit Gupta of Filmfare wrote "KLPD is unconvincing of what genre it’s trying to represent and it doesn’t help that the film is slavishly formulaic. Not to say all is bad. Ashutosh Rana and his Haryanvi gang of goons are fairly entertaining, so is Anshuman Jha in what looks like a cross between Bruce Lee and Jim Carrey." Vinayak Chakravorty of India Today wrote "KLPD falls short of imagination and wit when it comes to setting up the thrills. Khanduri's last Metro just doesn't have the pace of his Last Local."
