Reception

Dehaval Roy of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "Despite these flaws, Vijay 69 is still a family-friendly entertainer that is worth watching once, especially if you’re in the mood for a light, feel-good story with a touch of comedy".[2] A critic from The Hindu wrote "With little to reflect upon, it feels like an advertisement to promote triathlon, the new fad among fitness enthusiasts in all age groups".[3] A critic from Firstpost wrote "No doubt, Vijay 69 is predictable to the core, but it does bring a smile to our face especially when we see our aging parents giving up on life".[4] Rishabh Suri of the Hindustan Times wrote, "Vijay 69 is one of those films which people start watching with great interest, then lose it, scroll through their phones, watch a couple of scenes, go about some chores around the house, come back to watch the climax, and the end".[5] A critic from Filmfare rated the film 3.5/5 and wrote, "The film will leave you with a smile on your face and a renewed belief in the power of perseverance, making it a truly heartwarming experience".[6] A critic from Bollywood Hungama rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "On the whole, VIJAY 69 is a light-hearted inspirational tale that works due to the relatability factor, Anupam Kher's marvellous performance and an emotional climax".[7]
