Hindustan Times: The first half is excruciatingly slow. The story has multiple flashbacks, and we try to keep up with the pace. The premise wants to be intriguing, but… is too stretched. The first hour feels like a three hour long ‘maha-episode’ of a daily soap.

News18.com: There are so many romantic and emotional scenes in Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha featuring powerhouse performers Ajay Devgn and Tabu that could have elevated the middling screenplay, but sadly, they fall flat. The lazy and uninspiring writing is to blame here.

Times of India: Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is an attempt at a mature love story that falters in execution, with its slow pace and predictable plot hindering its impact.

Filmfare: Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha is a slow burner of a film. The film needed a more trimmed and pacy screenplay. Compared with director Neeraj Pandey’s action thrillers, this film falls short.

According to critics, the execution of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha does not match the promise of its premise, leaving them disappointed.
