Luka Chuppi hit the screens on Friday to average reviews with Sushant Singh Rajput and Bhumi Pednekar's dacoit drama Sonchiriya, which got favourable reviews. However, at the box office, Sonchiriya failed to make numbers.
In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Luka Chuppi 2 stars. He wrote, "Luka Chuppi isn't without its moments, but its downside overwhelms its strengths by a big margin. It offers shallow entertainment at best. Watch the film only if that is good enough for you."
Luka Chuppi tracks the story of Guddu (Kartik Aaryan) and Rashmi (Kriti Sanon), who opt for a live-in relationship over getting married. However, their respective families come to know that they eloped and hence, decide to get them married.
Directed by Laman Utekar, Luka Chuppi also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Vinay Pathak.
