Critical reception
Times of India rated 3 out of 5 and wrote "Thakka Thakka is the kind of film that shows spirit even though it doesn't come together as a whole. There are moments that stand out, but the film lacks the tautness in writing that could have made it into a gripping action film".[11] Sudhir Srinivasan of The Hindu wrote "Thakka Thakka’s predictable, wafer-thin plot actually makes even WWE storylines seem like meritorious literary work in comparison".[12] Behindwoods rated the film 2 out of 5 and wrote "On the whole what promises to be a thrilling action film looses track mid-way".[13] Silverscreen wrote "Everything about Thaakka Thaaka, from the title, to the posters, to the trailers and promos, made it a point to tell the audience that the film is about action. The filmmakers wanted the film to be ‘hard-hitting’. Perhaps they took the term too seriously, because most of the film is full of ‘hard-hitting’ stunts – punches, throat-slitting, stabbing, and hitting people with long iron rods".[14]
