[edit] Critical reception
The movie received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama
gave the movie 3 out of 5 stars, pointing that "Jodi Breakers has an
engrossing and smartly executed second half that tilts scales in its
favor. The right dose of drama and romance, besides a trendy, harmonious
musical score, only act as toppings." [5] Jeetendra Ojha from News Network of India has given 1.5/5 stars and says "The uninspiring and meaningless movie. Jodi Breakers is completely headache".[6] Kanika Sikka of DNA India
gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars, mentioning "Leave all expectations
behind before entering the hall and you ‘might’ (urgency redefined) walk
out with a smiling face."[7]
Mansha Rastogi of Nowrunning gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars, noting

if you are a fan of Maddy and Bips." [8] Savera R Someshwar of Rediff.com
gave the movie 1 out of 5 stars, saying that "Jodi Breakers could have
been a good romance or a good comedy but it's neither. The film is
seriously flawed." [9] Komal Nahta

Reception

the most out of it and promote it well enough to enhance the music's
reach."[19]

Salim-Sulaiman, the songs are already in the top of the charts, a big
