Marjaavaan opened to mixed reviews on Friday. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee reviewed the film for NDTV and gave it one star out of five. He wrote: "Marjaavaan is the sort of movie that has no qualms about burying itself under a mountain of cliches. There is Raghu (Sidharth Malhotra), a foundling the don has groomed to be his invincible and trusted hitman. I belong the gutters, the young man confesses at one point. He doesn't have to say it: the film, too belongs right there."
Marjaavaan has been co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani.
