== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote that "There are a couple of one liners (out-and-out adult, mind you) and moments that manage to make you laugh, somewhat. But then it’s all in flashes, primarily in the first half".<ref>{{Cite web |title=3 Bachelors Movie Review |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/3-bachelors/movie-review/14715136.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329001150/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/3-bachelors/movie-review/14715136.cms |archive-date=29 March 2023 |access-date=29 March 2023 |website=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> Mansha Rastogi of ''Nowrunning'' wrote, "With hackneyed writing, garbled storyline and cliched dialogues and jokes, 3 Bachelors is devoid of reasons for one to watch it".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rastogi |first=Mansha |date=7 July 2012 |title=3 Bachelors Hindi Movie |url=https://www.nowrunning.com/movie/10034/bollywood.hindi/3-bachelors/3787/review.htm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329001149/https://www.nowrunning.com/movie/10034/bollywood.hindi/3-bachelors/3787/review.htm |archive-date=29 March 2023 |access-date=29 March 2023 |website=Nowrunning}}</ref> A critic from ''BollywoodMDB'' wrote that "In the name of comedy, a dull film.
