In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Batla House begins on an impressively strong note but then trails off into a haze of uncertainties stemming from the erratic, contradictory pulls and tugs of the plot and swerves into facile courtroom drama territory without leaving the audience any wiser than it was at the outset."
Batla House has been directed by Nikkhil Advani and co-produced by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series.
