Reception

The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that "charismatic Karan Nath then swoops in with his engaging performance, and stays true to his character throughout the film.... What Guns of Banaras primarily lacks is a convincing motive for the protagonist to sail through. So, save yourself from this unpleasant ride."[1]
