- Sify.com rated the film as avoidable and also said that "Josettante Hero will find a place among the worst films released during recent times."[7]
- Nowrunning.com rated the film 1/5 and said "a film that attempts to take a satirical look at the industry, but which in the process ends up making even a great mockery of itself."[4]
- TheaterBalcony.com rated film 1.5/5 and said "At the end film failed to give the real content even after having a great concept. A group of talents were just wasted in this movie. Josettente Hero has no intention to entertain the audience."[8]
