Taran Adarsh (Bollywood Hungama): "Desi Boyz has some hilarious moments but loses steam post-interval."

Pritam’s soundtrack was a chartbuster. Songs like "Make Some Noise for the Desi Boyz," "Subha Hone Na De," and "Jhaak Maar Ke" became instant club anthems and remain popular at weddings and parties.

Even years later, the term "Desi Boyz" has become synonymous with the "Alpha-male" duo archetype in Indian cinema. It paved the way for more "bromance" centric films that weren't afraid to push the boundaries of conventional hero roles.
