Thugs of Hindostan was severely criticised by critics with a many of them calling it boring and forgettable. In her review, Deccan Chronicle critic Suparna Sharma said, "The film has Big B. It has the reigning king of box-office, Aamir Khan. It also has a taut-tummy, botox-lipped Katrina Kaif. And it has copied many of its things and characters from Hollywood biggies – a little from Game of Thrones, and lots and lots from Pirates of the Carribean. Joining this mess together are standard Bollywood cliches involving bad foreigners and good-hearted desis. And together they throw a mean challenge at the audience. Thugs of Hindostan, from Yash Raj Films, challenges you stay awake even as it goes from dreary to dismal to downright dud."
