== Reception==
Ganesh Aalgave of ''Firstpost'' rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and termed the film as a "cinematic treat" if we will love the unconventional take on rom-com, praised the performances of Alaya,Mehta and also the cameo of Kaushal.<ref>{{cite web|title=Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat review: Anurag Kashyap delivers unconventional romantic-drama with Vicky's memorable cameo|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/almost-pyaar-with-dj-mohabbat-review-anurag-kashyap-delivers-unconventional-romantic-drama-with-vicky-kaushals-memorable-cameo-12094302.html/amp|website=Firstpost|date=3 February 2023 |access-date=3 February 2023}}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "Despite a few fumbles, both the leads are impressive. Kashyap’s singular ability to show us the dark side of putative romance– the ‘almost pyaar’ of the title– rescues the film, and tilts it back on its axis".<ref>{{cite web|title=Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat movie review: Anurag Kashyap returns to familiar ground in this political and sharp film|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/almost-pyaar-with-dj-mohabbat-movie-review-anurag-kashyap-political-sharp-film-8421472/|website=[[The Indian Express]]|date=3 February 2023 |access-date=3 February 2023}}</ref> Titas Chowdhury of ''[[News 18]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote that the film "isn’t one of Anurag’s better works, but it surely has a heart".<ref>{{cite web|title=Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat Review: Alaya is Heart of Kashyap's Musical Tale of Love Won, Lost|url=https://www.news18.com/amp/news/movies/almost-pyaar-with-dj-mohabbat-review-alaya-f-is-heart-and-soul-of-anurag-kashyaps-musical-tale-of-love-won-and-lost-6981385.html|website=[[News 18]]|date=2 February 2023 |access-date=3 February 2023}}</ref> Grace Cyril of ''[[India Today]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote that the film is filled with a "whole lot of love and the efforts show".<ref>{{cite web|title=Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat Review: Alaya F, Karan Mehta's film is the perfect love saga for Gen Z but loses its plot|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/amp/movies/reviews/story/almost-pyaar-with-dj-mohabbat-review-alaya-f-karan-mehtas-film-is-the-perfect-love-saga-for-gen-z-but-loses-its-plot-2329933-2023-02-03|website=[[India Today]]|access-date=3 February 2023}}</ref> Ronak Kotecha of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "It’s a love story fraught with regular societal challenges and clichés, told in a unique way.
