Reception
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote that "Quite an interesting idea, I must add, but interesting ideas don't necessarily translate into fascinating cinematic experiences". Komal Nahta of Koimoi wrote that "On the whole, Masti Express is too dull to impress at the box-office". A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Funny only in bits and pieces, Masti Express doesn't live up to its name". A critic from Webdunia rated the film 2 out of 5. A critic from Movie Talkies wrote that "Unfortunately, the report card for Vikram Pradhan’s directorial debut reads ‘FAIL’. Ultimately, ‘Masti Express’ is a film thoroughly derailed".
