==Reception==

===Critical response===
The film received mixed response from critics. ''[[Mid-Day]]'' noted that "with a line-up of seasoned character actors known for their comic timings", the film could have been a "laugh ride", writing that the filmmaker's "felt their mere presence was enough to prop the film" allowing them to work with a "meandering script" that jumped "from one character to another" in a manner "bound to test the audience's patience". They also chided the inane dialogues and referred to the film as "balderdash", and a "no-brainer... ...made purely for the 'aam janata' of the hinterland".<ref name="MiD Day">{{cite news

''IndiaGlitz'' noted that through consideration of cast of established comic actors, there were certain "set expectations" for the film, in that viewers would not expect "a classic in the making" and would appreciate surrendering "to the antics of a dozen odd comic players on the screen." They also noted that the entire first half of the film is spent establishing its characters and that the second half "is an unabashed copy of ''[[Sholay]]'' with a little bit of ''[[Tees Maar Khan (2010 film)|Tees Maar Khan]]'' added as well." They concluded that "despite very low expectations" the film itself "turns out to be a barely passable affair".<ref name="IndiaGlitz">{{cite web

''Glamsham'' noted that with the film's multiple comedic actors and special songs it "clearly aims to be a complete [[masala film]]." They also noted that with "a plethora of actors who are known to tickle your funny bone, one would have at least expected a few laughs" from the film, but that it instead "turns out to be a tedious watch and a test of your patience." They wrote that the plot was unoriginal, the treatment was poor and the film's climax was both predictable and "totally uninspiring." They concluded that "Anand Raj Anand's music is passable. Johny Lall's cinematography is unimpressive. Pranav Dhiwar's editing is tacky."<ref name="Glamsham">{{cite web

===Box office===
''Bin Bulaye Baraati'' had an average opening commercially, and collected a poor gross of 65 million in its opening weekend. Facing competition with the film ''[[Ready (2011 film)|Ready]]'', ''[[Always Kabhi Kabhi]]'' and ''[[Double Dhamaal]]'' seems to be the official reason to why the film failed to do well at the box office. Its total gross was 130 million worldwide, and was declared a ''Disaster'' grosser worldwide by ''Box office India''.
