Ujda Chaman opened to largely negative reviews from film critics. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and he wrote: "The fluffy, fusty comedy drama about a young man grappling with a receding hairline and dwindling marriage prospects is delivered without wit and warmth, making it not just unfunny and tiresome - its two fours feel like four - but also frequently cringe worthy."
Ujda Chaman frequently featured in headlines for its strikingly similar plot to Ayushmann Khurrana's Bala. Both the film showcase the stories of the protagonists dealing with the effects of premature balding on their personal and professional lives.
Ujda Chaman is the Hindi remake of 2017 Kannada movie Ondu Motteya Kathe. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, Ujda Chaman also features Maanvi Gagroo, Atul Kumar, Sharib Hashmi and Saurabh Shukla in pivotal roles.
