The film opened to middling reviews, which hasn't dented it's box office appeal till now. NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 1 stars out of 5 and wrote: "The dialogues, written by director Farhad Samji, play out in the same vein all through the outlandish film, reportedly the costliest comedy every made in Mumbai. It is all rhyme and no rhythm... This film's obsession with animal excreta is monumental. Housefull 4 is like a pig."
Directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 4 is the fourth installment of the Housefull franchise.
