			==Reception==
			In a retrospective review, [[Sukanya Verma]] of [[Rediff.com]] called the film "[[So bad it's good]]." She further wrote, "In the pantheon of ‘so bad it’s good’ movies, Jeetendra’s forgotten fantasy flick, Hatim Tai, finds a venerable spot. One sees all sorts of grotesque razzle-dazzle through its course of 160 minutes as he goes about cracking seven tough riddles to end a fierce spell."<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/bollywoods-hilarious-retro-moments/20150422.htm\|title=Bollywood's hilarious retro moments!\|first=Sukanya\|last=Verma\|website=[[Rediff]]\|date=22 April 2015\|access-date=18 June 2024\|archive-date=18 June 2024\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240618003018/https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/bollywoods-hilarious-retro-moments/20150422.htm\|url-status=live}}</ref>
