Reception
[edit]Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama opined that "On the whole, CYCLE KICK is a decent attempt, but the predicament is that it arrives with as good as zilch awareness".[8] Subhash K. Jha wrote that "'Cycle Kick' is not quite the kick-in-the-groin take on the non-urban youth's aspirations that "Iqbal" so successfully happened to be. But it has its heart in the right place. And it doesn't puts its foot in its mouth".[9] A critic from Koimoi opined that "Shashi’s screenplay attempts to do too much and ends up doing too little, that too, with hardly any finesse or competence".[10]
