Reception
Full Hyderabad wrote "The comedy in TBML is more situational and contextual rather than plot-driven – it is more like a book of jokes by a cartoonist rather than a Wodehouse novel. The dialogues range from witty to hilarious, the performances from deadpan to hyper-active, and your expressions from self-conscious happiness to thigh-slapping rollicking. And at the end of it all, you won’t ask yourself any stupid questions". Now Running wrote "Tata Birla Madhyalo Laila" promises a large dose of laughter (though not of the better quality). The movie doesn't cast any impressions in the end, but the endearing actress Laya's smile stays on in the mind".
