==Critical reception==
[[Shubhra Gupta]] of [[The Indian Express]] gave the film 1.5/5, writing "Machine is the kind of film the director-duo would have got away in the 90s. Or maybe not. Even the squelchiest of plots need some acting chops and charisma: none of the young people, including the debutant Burmawla, is in possession of these crucial ingredients that makes a star."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/machine-movie-review-mustafa-burmawala-kiara-advani-abbas-mustan-star-rating-4572875/lite/|title=Machine movie review: How to pass time in this drag?
