In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee gave Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi one-and-a-half stars out of five. "Not that Sonakshi does not give the role her best shot. Hers is a lively star turn. It might have buoyed up the film if only it had the comic energy to go the distance. It doesn't get too far because it merely runs around in circles. Its gags are gratuitous and the one-liners too vacuous to hit home," he wrote.
Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi is the sequel of 2016 comedy Happy Bhag Jayegi, which featured Abhay Deol, Diana Penty (Happy #1) and Ali Fazal. Much like the first installment, the sequel has also been directed by Mudassar Aziz. Sonakshi stars as as Navpreet Kaur - Happy #2 - while Jimmy Sheirgill reprises his role as Daman Singh in the film. Jassi Gill made his Bollywood debut with "Happy" franchise.
