What makes #Hichki an OUTRIGHT WINNER is the perfect blend of super content + right economics... While the theatrical biz is going strong, Yash Raj has already recovered *entire* investment [ 20 cr] from non-theatrical platforms [Digital, Satellite, Music].

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Hichki 2.5 stars out of 5. "Rani Mukerji gives the role of a Tourette Syndrome-afflicted teacher all she has. Full marks there! However, Hichki isn't the kind of class act that does justice to the film's larger purpose of underscoring the need for inclusion. The tale at the heart of Hichki is definitely inspirational. If only it had been a tad more inspired, it might have hit home with far greater force," he wrote.
