Reception

[4]

Saibal Chatterji of NDTV wrote, "Plan A Plan B is a rom-com that skims the surface of matters of the heart as men and women, whether entering into matrimony or opting out of it, negotiate the sharp bends on the way. The film potters around without much of a roadmap. The result is a flimsy affair that leaves far too much to the actors to salvage".[5] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote, "I had hopes that there would be some zest to the proceedings [...] But as soon as the attraction-despite-everything arc begins, the film turns decisively tepid and flat".[6] Archika Khurana of The Times of India wrote, "For people to believe that "opposites attract," this 106-minute film is as formulaic as it is ambitious".[7]
