The Indian Express film critic Shalini Langer gave the film only 1 star. She wrote in her review, “It’s only the plot regarding which Hobbs & Shaw makes no pretensions. Since it’s a film “derived” from Fast & Furious, it doesn’t have to carry any of that baggage either, only borrowing two of its many charismatic and action-friendly characters. If Johnson is Hobbs again, an American stealth forces expert, Statham is his British counterpart, Shaw. They started squabbling in Fast and Furious, and continue their mostly-tiresome banter here, even when the “fate of the world” comes to rest on their shoulders — doing it for the “fourth” time, Hobbs reminds. Lending more than an able helping hand is Hattie (Kirby), the good MI6 agent mistaken for bad.”
