Release and reception
editThe film was released on 28 April 2023, and it was unsuccessful at the box office.[6] A critic from Rediff.com wrote: "The director, who began his career with great films like Ghayal, Damini and Ghatak, has made romantic comedies too, including the cult-ish Andaz Apna Apna, but a movie like Bad Boy being made in 2023 would have been just as unwatchable no matter who made it".[7][8][9] The film is now available for streaming on ZEE5.
