According to Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, "Omji, Deepak and Shreyas suited the roles perfectly. Given the age difference, the eldest brother is a fatherly figure. And their chemistry, or the lack of it, becomes pivotal for the story to be told."
The movie received negative reviews. Anupama Chopra of NDTV wrote in its review - "Debutant director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba strains hard to make you laugh – Teen Thay Bhai includes everything from fart jokes to a purposefully loud Ram Leela – but I barely smiled" and gave it 1.5 stars out of five.
