## Critical reception

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1 star out of 5, writing ″On the whole, KASH AAP HAMARE HOTE is an ordinary fare. At the box-office, the film will face rough weather due to a strong opposition in the form of 2003 Cricket World Cup. Had the film released at a more appropriate period and without oppositions, the prospects would've been better.″ Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote ″The best thing about the film is Manmohan Singh's cinematography. A Yash Chopra regular, Singh captures gorgeous Canada beautifully.″But then, films do not run on stunning locations, technical superiority or catchy music. Kash... simply lacks appeal in all other departments.″
