was the only one with a watchable performance and the star of the film, Sunil Shetty was barely average & Sunny Deol was wasted in this movie because he did fewer scenes than in his previous movies. Bollywood Hungama rated the film 1.5/5, stating, "The film has a huge cast, but only Munish Kohli and Akshay Kumar leave an impact. Sunny Deol is average. The others don't impress much".The film's VFX is even considered one of the worst VFX even today. Planet Bollywood rated the film 5/10, saying "In terms of a story, writers Aatish and Kohli have just churned out a mish-mash of the previous two hits. The reason why Manisha blames all her friends for her death seems lame, hence the film fails to hold together or have any sort of lasting impact. Also, the story of "Ichadari Naag" etc is a bit hard to digest in this day and age. The screenplay of the movie is pathetic. A lot of the scenes in the movie evoke laughter where they shouldn't. Just take for example how Akshay Kumar and Sonu Nigam don´t die and keep coming back for more. After the worst form of stabbings and bashings, they seem to look almost healthy in the next scene. Dialogues by K.K Singh are disappointing." Box Office Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahaani opened well at the box office, collecting about ₹13.5 million on its first day.
