While the film received praise from many, not everyone enjoyed it. Some viewers were disappointed with the movie's execution. One tweet criticized it for having a "weak screenplay" and humor that "fell flat."
#MereHusbandKiBiwi is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The film failed to evoke any emotions, with subpar acting, a weak screenplay, & humor that fell flat. To top it off, the cinema was almost empty, with only 2 more people in cinema.
