She highlighted that the film has a " a riotously hilarious second half," and appreciated that "the film has two heroes, with the other being Sonam Bajwa.. without being the male hero, Sonam leads with utter femininity even as she is beating and chasing the villains, and when squabbling in lover’s quarrel in brazen language. Kudos to films like ‘Puaada’ that are chipping at the prop tag from female leads in Punjabi films."
