[[Anna M. M. Vetticad]] of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0/5 and wrote "This film is so generic that it would be a challenge to write down the plot from A-Z after a single viewing. Salman Khan's performance reiterates the fact that he is not looking at gaining any validation from the audiences taking them for granted". She also criticised the movie for not giving the lead actress enough screen time by stating, "The movie treats its ‘heroine’ as nothing but a body on display whose sole job is to give the hero someone to fall in love with, dance with and protect".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe movie review: A dozen Salman Khan starrers diced and tossed together in stale oil|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/radhe-movie-review-a-dozen-salman-khan-starrers-diced-and-tossed-together-in-stale-oil-9618111.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Firstpost]] }}</ref> Stutee Ghosh from ''[[The Quint]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5.

She further stated, "''Radhe'' is frustratingly tone deaf to how it promotes police brutality and the almost suffocating toxic masculinity that is sprayed on like a cheap deodorant".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Review: Salman Khan's 'Radhe' Is Loud, Senseless & Offensive|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/salman-khan-disha-patani-prabhu-deva-radhe-movie-review|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[The Quint]] }}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5 and wrote, "''Radhe'' is a mindless, moronic mess of a movie in which Salman does every single thing he's done a zillion times".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan serves a mindless, moronic mess of a film|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/radhe-movie-review-salman-khan-prabhudheva-randeep-hooda-7313665/|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=The Indian Express }}</ref> Soumya Srivastava from ''The [[Hindustan Times]]'' called ''Radhe'' a torture of a film and one of Khan's worst movies.

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] from ''[[NDTV]]'' gave the film a rating of 2/5 and opined that "The film dumps a whole lot of dross on us with a certain degree of surface stink."

Criticising the framing of Patani's character she further wrote, "Diya itself is acutely offensive. It just shows the acutely conservative mindset of the makers and of the Salman Khan universe itself, where men and women are hardly ever in a relationship of equals, where the man is this self-anointed “protector” of the woman and the woman is seen as some kind of a property or possession".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title='Radhe—Your Most Wanted Bhai': Certainly not wanted!|url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/entertainment/radheyour-most-wanted-bhai-certainly-not-wanted|url-status=live|access-date=May 14, 2021|website=[[The National Herald (India)]] }}</ref> Sushri Sahu of ''[[Mashable]]'' criticised ''Radhe'' for glorifying police brutality, gun violence and toxic masculinity.

[[Anna M. M. Vetticad]] of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0/5 and wrote "This film is so generic that it would be a challenge to write down the plot from A-Z after a single viewing. Salman Khan's performance reiterates the fact that he is not looking at gaining any validation from the audiences taking them for granted". She also criticised the movie for not giving the lead actress enough screen time by stating, "The movie treats its ‘heroine’ as nothing but a body on display whose sole job is to give the hero someone to fall in love with, dance with and protect".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe movie review: A dozen Salman Khan starrers diced and tossed together in stale oil|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/radhe-movie-review-a-dozen-salman-khan-starrers-diced-and-tossed-together-in-stale-oil-9618111.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Firstpost]] }}</ref> Stutee Ghosh from ''[[The Quint]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5. Calling it a "cringefest" she wrote, "''Radhe'' is a loud, senseless and offensive film that has little regard for women, the police force and the audience's intelligence in general". She further stated, "''Radhe'' is frustratingly tone deaf to how it promotes police brutality and the almost suffocating toxic masculinity that is sprayed on like a cheap deodorant".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Review: Salman Khan's 'Radhe' Is Loud, Senseless & Offensive|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/salman-khan-disha-patani-prabhu-deva-radhe-movie-review|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[The Quint]] }}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5 and wrote, "''Radhe'' is a mindless, moronic mess of a movie in which Salman does every single thing he's done a zillion times".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan serves a mindless, moronic mess of a film|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/radhe-movie-review-salman-khan-prabhudheva-randeep-hooda-7313665/|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=The Indian Express }}</ref> Soumya Srivastava from ''The [[Hindustan Times]]'' called ''Radhe'' a torture of a film and one of Khan's worst movies. She described ''Radhe'' as a "cringeworthy movie" and stated, "The movie is nothing but a collection of action sequences piled upon each other as Disha's tight dresses, some dance numbers, and goons saying 'apun' a lot act as fillers".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan's torture of a film is among his worst ever|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/radhe-your-most-wanted-bhai-movie-review-salman-khan-s-torture-of-a-film-is-among-his-worst-ever-101620900064359.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Hindustan Times]] }}</ref>

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] from ''[[NDTV]]'' gave the film a rating of 2/5 and opined that "The film dumps a whole lot of dross on us with a certain degree of surface stink." He concluded by saying "Radhe has no inducements for diehard Salman Khan fans to keep them interested".<ref>{{cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe review: Salman Khan does everything his fans expect |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/radhe-review-salman-khan-does-everything-fans-expect-including-shedding-his-shirt-2-stars-2441064|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[NDTV]] }}</ref> Trade Analyst [[Taran Adarsh]] gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 2/5 and called it "Disappointing".

Criticising the framing of Patani's character she further wrote, "Diya itself is acutely offensive. It just shows the acutely conservative mindset of the makers and of the Salman Khan universe itself, where men and women are hardly ever in a relationship of equals, where the man is this self-anointed “protector” of the woman and the woman is seen as some kind of a property or possession".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title='Radhe—Your Most Wanted Bhai': Certainly not wanted!|url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/entertainment/radheyour-most-wanted-bhai-certainly-not-wanted|url-status=live|access-date=May 14, 2021|website=[[The National Herald (India)]] }}</ref> Sushri Sahu of ''[[Mashable]]'' criticised ''Radhe'' for glorifying police brutality, gun violence and toxic masculinity. She further wrote, "''Radhe'' is repetitive with not just the dialogues but the rogue cop-on-a-cleaning-spree formula. It doesn't even spare the minimum of one rape assault trope. The film, in fact, looks like a brochure to sell Khan's already popular brand.

[[Anna M. M. Vetticad]] of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0/5 and wrote "This film is so generic that it would be a challenge to write down the plot from A-Z after a single viewing. Salman Khan's performance reiterates the fact that he is not looking at gaining any validation from the audiences taking them for granted". She also criticised the movie for not giving the lead actress enough screen time by stating, "The movie treats its ‘heroine’ as nothing but a body on display whose sole job is to give the hero someone to fall in love with, dance with and protect".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe movie review: A dozen Salman Khan starrers diced and tossed together in stale oil|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/radhe-movie-review-a-dozen-salman-khan-starrers-diced-and-tossed-together-in-stale-oil-9618111.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Firstpost]] }}</ref> Stutee Ghosh from ''[[The Quint]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5.

She further stated, "''Radhe'' is frustratingly tone deaf to how it promotes police brutality and the almost suffocating toxic masculinity that is sprayed on like a cheap deodorant".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Review: Salman Khan's 'Radhe' Is Loud, Senseless & Offensive|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/salman-khan-disha-patani-prabhu-deva-radhe-movie-review|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[The Quint]] }}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5 and wrote, "''Radhe'' is a mindless, moronic mess of a movie in which Salman does every single thing he's done a zillion times".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan serves a mindless, moronic mess of a film|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/radhe-movie-review-salman-khan-prabhudheva-randeep-hooda-7313665/|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=The Indian Express }}</ref> Soumya Srivastava from ''The [[Hindustan Times]]'' called ''Radhe'' a torture of a film and one of Khan's worst movies. She described ''Radhe'' as a "cringeworthy movie" and stated, "The movie is nothing but a collection of action sequences piled upon each other as Disha's tight dresses, some dance numbers, and goons saying 'apun' a lot act as fillers".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan's torture of a film is among his worst ever|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/radhe-your-most-wanted-bhai-movie-review-salman-khan-s-torture-of-a-film-is-among-his-worst-ever-101620900064359.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Hindustan Times]] }}</ref>

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] from ''[[NDTV]]'' gave the film a rating of 2/5 and opined that "The film dumps a whole lot of dross on us with a certain degree of surface stink." He concluded by saying "Radhe has no inducements for diehard Salman Khan fans to keep them interested".<ref>{{cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe review: Salman Khan does everything his fans expect |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/radhe-review-salman-khan-does-everything-fans-expect-including-shedding-his-shirt-2-stars-2441064|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[NDTV]] }}</ref> Trade Analyst [[Taran Adarsh]] gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 2/5 and called it "Disappointing".

Criticising the framing of Patani's character she further wrote, "Diya itself is acutely offensive. It just shows the acutely conservative mindset of the makers and of the Salman Khan universe itself, where men and women are hardly ever in a relationship of equals, where the man is this self-anointed “protector” of the woman and the woman is seen as some kind of a property or possession".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title='Radhe—Your Most Wanted Bhai': Certainly not wanted!|url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/entertainment/radheyour-most-wanted-bhai-certainly-not-wanted|url-status=live|access-date=May 14, 2021|website=[[The National Herald (India)]] }}</ref> Sushri Sahu of ''[[Mashable]]'' criticised ''Radhe'' for glorifying police brutality, gun violence and toxic masculinity. She further wrote, "''Radhe'' is repetitive with not just the dialogues but the rogue cop-on-a-cleaning-spree formula. It doesn't even spare the minimum of one rape assault trope. The film, in fact, looks like a brochure to sell Khan's already popular brand.

[[Anna M. M. Vetticad]] of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0/5 and wrote "This film is so generic that it would be a challenge to write down the plot from A-Z after a single viewing. Salman Khan's performance reiterates the fact that he is not looking at gaining any validation from the audiences taking them for granted". She also criticised the movie for not giving the lead actress enough screen time by stating, "The movie treats its ‘heroine’ as nothing but a body on display whose sole job is to give the hero someone to fall in love with, dance with and protect".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe movie review: A dozen Salman Khan starrers diced and tossed together in stale oil|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/radhe-movie-review-a-dozen-salman-khan-starrers-diced-and-tossed-together-in-stale-oil-9618111.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Firstpost]] }}</ref> Stutee Ghosh from ''[[The Quint]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5. Calling it a "cringefest" she wrote, "''Radhe'' is a loud, senseless and offensive film that has little regard for women, the police force and the audience's intelligence in general". She further stated, "''Radhe'' is frustratingly tone deaf to how it promotes police brutality and the almost suffocating toxic masculinity that is sprayed on like a cheap deodorant".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Review: Salman Khan's 'Radhe' Is Loud, Senseless & Offensive|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/salman-khan-disha-patani-prabhu-deva-radhe-movie-review|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[The Quint]] }}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5 and wrote, "''Radhe'' is a mindless, moronic mess of a movie in which Salman does every single thing he's done a zillion times".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan serves a mindless, moronic mess of a film|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/radhe-movie-review-salman-khan-prabhudheva-randeep-hooda-7313665/|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=The Indian Express }}</ref> Soumya Srivastava from ''The [[Hindustan Times]]'' called ''Radhe'' a torture of a film and one of Khan's worst movies. She described ''Radhe'' as a "cringeworthy movie" and stated, "The movie is nothing but a collection of action sequences piled upon each other as Disha's tight dresses, some dance numbers, and goons saying 'apun' a lot act as fillers".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan's torture of a film is among his worst ever|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/radhe-your-most-wanted-bhai-movie-review-salman-khan-s-torture-of-a-film-is-among-his-worst-ever-101620900064359.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Hindustan Times]] }}</ref>

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] from ''[[NDTV]]'' gave the film a rating of 2/5 and opined that "The film dumps a whole lot of dross on us with a certain degree of surface stink."

Criticising the framing of Patani's character she further wrote, "Diya itself is acutely offensive. It just shows the acutely conservative mindset of the makers and of the Salman Khan universe itself, where men and women are hardly ever in a relationship of equals, where the man is this self-anointed “protector” of the woman and the woman is seen as some kind of a property or possession".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title='Radhe—Your Most Wanted Bhai': Certainly not wanted!|url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/entertainment/radheyour-most-wanted-bhai-certainly-not-wanted|url-status=live|access-date=May 14, 2021|website=[[The National Herald (India)]] }}</ref> Sushri Sahu of ''[[Mashable]]'' criticised ''Radhe'' for glorifying police brutality, gun violence and toxic masculinity. She further wrote, "''Radhe'' is repetitive with not just the dialogues but the rogue cop-on-a-cleaning-spree formula. It doesn't even spare the minimum of one rape assault trope.

[[Anna M. M. Vetticad]] of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0/5 and wrote "This film is so generic that it would be a challenge to write down the plot from A-Z after a single viewing. Salman Khan's performance reiterates the fact that he is not looking at gaining any validation from the audiences taking them for granted". She also criticised the movie for not giving the lead actress enough screen time by stating, "The movie treats its ‘heroine’ as nothing but a body on display whose sole job is to give the hero someone to fall in love with, dance with and protect".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe movie review: A dozen Salman Khan starrers diced and tossed together in stale oil|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/radhe-movie-review-a-dozen-salman-khan-starrers-diced-and-tossed-together-in-stale-oil-9618111.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Firstpost]] }}</ref> Stutee Ghosh from ''[[The Quint]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5. Calling it a "cringefest" she wrote, "''Radhe'' is a loud, senseless and offensive film that has little regard for women, the police force and the audience's intelligence in general". She further stated, "''Radhe'' is frustratingly tone deaf to how it promotes police brutality and the almost suffocating toxic masculinity that is sprayed on like a cheap deodorant".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Review: Salman Khan's 'Radhe' Is Loud, Senseless & Offensive|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/salman-khan-disha-patani-prabhu-deva-radhe-movie-review|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[The Quint]] }}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 0.5/5 and wrote, "''Radhe'' is a mindless, moronic mess of a movie in which Salman does every single thing he's done a zillion times".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan serves a mindless, moronic mess of a film|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/radhe-movie-review-salman-khan-prabhudheva-randeep-hooda-7313665/|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=The Indian Express }}</ref> Soumya Srivastava from ''The [[Hindustan Times]]'' called ''Radhe'' a torture of a film and one of Khan's worst movies. She described ''Radhe'' as a "cringeworthy movie" and stated, "The movie is nothing but a collection of action sequences piled upon each other as Disha's tight dresses, some dance numbers, and goons saying 'apun' a lot act as fillers".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai movie review: Salman Khan's torture of a film is among his worst ever|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/radhe-your-most-wanted-bhai-movie-review-salman-khan-s-torture-of-a-film-is-among-his-worst-ever-101620900064359.html|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[Hindustan Times]] }}</ref>

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] from ''[[NDTV]]'' gave the film a rating of 2/5 and opined that "The film dumps a whole lot of dross on us with a certain degree of surface stink." He concluded by saying "Radhe has no inducements for diehard Salman Khan fans to keep them interested".<ref>{{cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title=Radhe review: Salman Khan does everything his fans expect |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/radhe-review-salman-khan-does-everything-fans-expect-including-shedding-his-shirt-2-stars-2441064|url-status=live|access-date=May 13, 2021|website=[[NDTV]] }}</ref> Trade Analyst [[Taran Adarsh]] gave ''Radhe'' a rating of 2/5 and called it "Disappointing".

Criticising the framing of Patani's character she further wrote, "Diya itself is acutely offensive. It just shows the acutely conservative mindset of the makers and of the Salman Khan universe itself, where men and women are hardly ever in a relationship of equals, where the man is this self-anointed “protector” of the woman and the woman is seen as some kind of a property or possession".<ref>{{Cite news|date=May 13, 2021|title='Radhe—Your Most Wanted Bhai': Certainly not wanted!|url=https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/entertainment/radheyour-most-wanted-bhai-certainly-not-wanted|url-status=live|access-date=May 14, 2021|website=[[The National Herald (India)]] }}</ref> Sushri Sahu of ''[[Mashable]]'' criticised ''Radhe'' for glorifying police brutality, gun violence and toxic masculinity. She further wrote, "''Radhe'' is repetitive with not just the dialogues but the rogue cop-on-a-cleaning-spree formula. It doesn't even spare the minimum of one rape assault trope. The film, in fact, looks like a brochure to sell Khan's already popular brand.
