Critical reception

Faheem Ruhani of India Today wrote, "There is so much confusion in this comedy of errors that the film's characters are mouthing lines such as "yeh kya ho raha hai, mujhe kuch samajh nahin aa raha, it's getting complicated." Exactly how you feel while watching Baat Bann Gayi! The end credits roll to say a film by Shuja Ali and team while you are thinking baat kuch bani nahi [Nothing really came of it]. The Times of India gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing, "The major issue with this movie is the fact that it borrows heavily from films like Chupke Chupke, Gol Maal and Seeta Aur Geeta. Even if we ignore the lack of originality, the formula that worked in the 1970's looks way too outdated for today. Besides, those films had a solid script and some great comic timing. Here, barring Gulshan Grover, everyone else looks like they are trying too hard to make you laugh. Not their mistake. Blame it on the poor writing."
