## Reception
### Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 27% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.7/10.
Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated 1.5/5 stars and said that "Mere Husband Ki Biwi, a stoop and stumble affair, sets the bar conveniently low but, strangely, struggles to top even that. It isn't a victim of its ambition, but of the singular lack of it." Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express also gave 1.5 stars and observed that "This is the kind of film that tells you why Bollywood is where it is. You take your stars Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh and then stuff the film with a supporting cast that works as a buffering collection of one-liners." Bollywood Hungama noted "MERE HUSBAND KI BIWI is built on an interesting premise and is elevated by strong performances from its lead actors. While the storytelling could have been more compelling, the film still offers moments of entertainment. At the box office, positive word of mouth can help it carve its space despite competition from CHHAAVA." Rating: 3/5 stars
Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India commented about it that "Mere Husband Ki Biwi could have been better—if everything about it were better. In an industry flooded with biopics and remakes, even a flawed rom-com feels like a relief. It’s harmless and semi-functional, and in today’s times, that’s enough."
India Today noted "Mere Husband Ki Biwi is a generic Hindi film that checks all the boxes but doesn't necessarily impress...Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh are all good but they can't rise above the material." Rating: 2.5/5 stars
Devesh Sharma of Filmfare commented "Mere Husband Ki Biwi is a chaotic love triangle served with an extra helping of melodrama. Be warned of sex jokes and potty humour," Rating: 3/5 stars Anuj Kumar of The Hindu commented that "Director Mudassar Aziz takes a long time to find his groove in this unremarkable triatomic fission" Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times gave 2.5 stars and said that in his review that "Overall, Mere Husband Ki Biwi had the potential to be hilarious. It tries hard, and credit to the makers for the attempt. But it falls short." Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost observed that "Mere Husband Ki Biwi is not flawless but what makes it worth watching is its relevance and believability of the storytelling" Deepa Gahlot of scroll.in said about the film that "It is neither funny nor daramatic enough." Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint gave 2.5 stars and said that "I often find myself asking a very basic question once a film’s end credits roll: “Is this a bad film?” It helps remove the film from all the hype surrounding it and the otherwise unnecessary context and look at it in its barebones form. In that sense, Mere Husband Ki Biwi isn’t bad. It’s just a wasted opportunity. Mere Husband Ki Biwi upsets not because of the film it is but because of the film it could have been."
