==Reception and awards==
''Kunwara'' received mostly negative reviews from critics, although some of the performances were received well. Sukanya Verma from [[Rediff.com]] wrote, "Don't ask any questions. Don't look for any kind of logic. Go with the flow. Otherwise, you're not ready for this David Dhawan-Govinda flick."<ref>{{cite web|author=Verma, Sukanya|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=2000-07-21|access-date=2011-02-23|title=Grin and bear it|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/jul/21kun.htm}}</ref> [[Taran Adarsh]] of [[Bollywood Hungama]] criticised the film, concluding, "Kunwara has the super-successful David Dhawan-Govinda combination as its strong point, but the film pales in comparison to the hits the two have delivered earlier. The film may start off well, but it lacks a good script to sustain after the initial curiosity subsides."<ref>{{cite web|author=Adarsh, Taran|publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama]]|date=2000-12-15|access-date=2011-02-23|title=Kunwara|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/6637/index.html}}</ref>

''Kunwara'' was nominated for two awards in the same category at the annual [[Filmfare Awards]]:
*[[Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Comic Role]] - Govinda
*Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Comic Role - Johnny Lever
