Reception

Critical response

[edit]

Pallabi Dey Purkayastha of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Despite the minor hiccups, ‘Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka’ largely works due to its strong emotional content."[4] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "What struck me about its newest addition to the adventures of little Bheem is the surprisingly terrific quality of animation: except for a flash or two which harks back to the bad old days of clunckiness, this is world class."[5]

Troy Ribeiro of News18 gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Visually, the film is brilliantly mounted. Each frame is colourful and appealing and the voices of the ace cast are matched perfectly. The story is simple and meanders aimlessly through a standard formulaic treatment, making the viewing a not so exciting fare."[6] Raja Sen of Hindustan Times gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The glossy new movie has barely an original bone in its well-animated body. It needed spirit, some vim, some animated flair."[7]

Spin-off

[edit]

A spin-off animated television series of the same name was aired in 2020.[8]
