Critical response

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing ″On the whole, KHEL is a fair entertainer its target audience being the masses, not critics or multiplex-going audience. At the box-office, the holiday period will help the film take a good start and eventually, it will find patronage in the interiors.″^[6] Anjum N of Rediff.com wrote ″Editor-turned-director Yusuf Khan does a fair job, but is handicapped by a story that has no suspense, twists or unpredictable, manipulative characters. But, having written the story himself, he cannot blame anyone else if his 'ultimate game' fails to take off.″^[7] Manish Gajjar of BBC.com wrote ″In this film, we see Suniel Shetty playing a different character. Its nice to see him in a subdued nature as compared to his usual macho rambo self. Sunny Deol and Ajay Devgan are their usual selves whilst Ajay Jedeja gives a natural performance considering that he is a newcomer. Overall Khel is good escapist cinema which will appeal to the younger generation.″^[8]
