Critically, Grand Masti was met with widespread disapproval. Many reviewers argued that the film relied heavily on "low-brow" humor, objectification, and double entendres that bordered on the offensive. The script was frequently criticized for lacking depth and for prioritizing shock value over clever writing. Despite these critiques, the film struck a chord with a specific segment of the audience. Its success suggested a growing appetite in India for bold, unfiltered content that deviated from the traditional, family-oriented Bollywood fare. It proved that there was a lucrative market for adult comedies, paved the way for more experimental content in that sub-genre.
