Various critics gave good reviews to the film, such as ‘Hollywood news’ which commented, “There is a pulpy energy and heart to Bala’s craft here that makes Mard Ko Dard Nahi Kota a fresh and deliriously fun …It’s a smart film and one that is littered with references and good storytelling.”
Film critic Bedatri D Choudhury also said, “Bala’s reference in the movie makes an excellent reference that ticks every box in the 80’s clichés’ so that the movie go down equally well with international audiences and just about anyone else who did not grow up watching such films.”
CinemaScope praised the film saying, “It’s a clever enough premise for an action-comedy.”
As the title suggests, the film is based on a man with congenital insensitivity to pain.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of RSVP, the film marks the debut of Abhimanyu Dasani and Radhika Madan.
