Review of the film :

This film reviews are mostly mix from critics.

Critics reviews :

• Ronak Kotecha from Times of India gave 3.5 star from 5 star and stated that "Helicopter Eela is a fun ride that manages to land safely despite some turbulence. Watch this simple and endearing tale of motherly love with your mom in tow."
• Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV gave only 1.5 star out of 5 and stated that "ajol And Riddhi Sen's Film Is A Massive Letdown, The film is is an ungainly crash landing at the end of a wobbly ride.The problem with film is that it allows the drama to trump its comic potential. A little more wit and humour and a little less earnestness might have given the film the wings it wants. After a disappointingly predictable and patchy two hours, the climax, too, does little to help the audience forget the trudge up until this point."
• Raja Sen from Hindustan times also gave 2 star from 5 star and writes that "The film doesn’t work as hard, with college students using volumes of the World Book for research, and a young man with a thickly Bengali accent playing Eela’s half-Maharashtrian, half-Punjabi son. In a throwback to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’s infamously unplugged electric guitars, Kajol even conquers a stadium with a song without needing a microphone. This Mommy may not know best, but she sure knows loudest."
• Anna MM Vetticad from Firstpost gave only 2/5 and noted that "Kajol over-acts, Riddhi Sen is top-notch in a funny but superficial Mom com,a sort of English Vinglish without depth."
