Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film one out of five, writing, "Editing is loose. Dialogues are commonplace. Cinematography is average. On the whole, ITTEFAQ is too ordinary a fare and has some chances at small stations only.[1] Ashish Magotra of Rediff.com wrote, "What is this film? An action-thriller, a comedy, a love-story, a drama? Whatever it is, it fails on all counts."[2]
