==Critical reception==<br />
[[Taran Adarsh]] of [[IndiaFM]] gave the film 0.5 stars out of 5, writing ″Director Srinivas Bhashyam is saddled with an uninspiring screenplay and he needs to partner the blame partly. He may be a sound technician, but a director ought to be a good story teller.″<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/paisa-vasool/critic-review/paisa-vasool-movie-review/|title=Paisa Vasool Review 0.5/5 &#124; Paisa Vasool Movie Review &#124; Paisa Vasool 2003 Public Review &#124; Film Review|first=Bollywood|last=Hungama|website=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |date=December 2003 }}</ref><br />

Ronjita Kulkarni of [[Rediff.com]] gave a positive review, writing ″It must have taken guts for Koirala to make her production debut with a film like this. Her efforts are commendable. Paisa Vasool may not tell a unique story, but it definitely lives up to its name″.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/paisa/20040109.htm|title=Manisha, Sushmita are paisa vasool!|first=Ronjita|last=Kulkarni|website=Rediff}}</ref><br />
