==Critical reception==

[[The Times of India]] gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "Saare Jahaan Se Mehenga has a brilliant concept, earnest performances and clean humour. The film however falls short of evolving beyond the basic idea, which curtails the impact it should ideally make."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/saare-jahaan-se-mehnga/movie-review/18828705.cms |title=Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga Movie Review |work=[[The Times of India]]}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref> Vinayak Chakravorty of [[India Today]] gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "At the core of debutant director Anshul Sharma's film is a whacky idea. The idea, though, gets lost in interpretation. The film is an honest intention gone astray."<ref>Vinayak Chakravorty (* March 2013). {{cite web |title=Movie review: Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/reviews/story/saare-jahaan-se-mehnga-movie-review-155670-2013-03-08 |publisher=[[India Today]]}} {{Rating|2|5}}</ref> Sudhish Kamath of [[The Hindu]] reviewed the film saying that ''Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga'' is "A sincere film straight from the heart that takes too long to get going."<ref>{{cite web |last=Kamath |first=Sudhish |date=9 March 2013 |title=Saare Jahaan Se Mehenga: Ration some money for this |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/saare-jahaan-se-mehenga-ration-some-money-for-this/article4491503.ece |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref> Ananya Bhattacharya of [[Zee News]] gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that, "In all, ‘Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga’ leaves you with the question, ‘Why?’... Why, for example, did the makers decide to make such a film when we are so troubled by inflation already?"<ref>Ananya Bhattacharya (7 March 2013). {{cite web |title='Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga' review: Leaves you with the question 'Why?' |url=http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/bollywood/saare-jahaan-se-mehnga-review-leaves-you-with-the-question-why_129423.html |publisher=[[Zee News]]}} {{Rating|1.5|5}}</ref> Nandini Ramnath of [[Live Mint]] reviewed the film saying that, "The simplistic and limited premise is better suited to an hour-long television series episode than a full-length feature. Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga feels stretched even at a relatively short running length of an hour and 48 minutes."<ref>{{cite web |last=Ramnath |first=Nandini |date=8 March 2013 |title=Film Review - Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga |url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/JxPiqBuIuYY54l3H1tyZLJ/Film-Review--Saare-Jahaan-Se-Mehnga.html |publisher=[[Live Mint]]}}</ref>

Taran Adarsh of [[Bollywood Hungama]] gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and said that, "On the whole, SAARE JAHAAN SE MEHNGA… is topical, relevant and relatable, with some endearing moments. It may be lacking in face-value, but you can’t deny that it’s an honest effort!"<ref>[[Taran Adarsh]] (8 March 2013). {{cite web |title=Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga Review |url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/saare-jahaan-se-mehnga/critic-review/saare-jahaan-se-mehnga-movie-review/ |website=[[Bollywood Hungama]]}} {{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref> Shubhra Gupta of [[The Indian Express]] gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "The film has been written zippily by people who know this world. It looks and feels authentic, minus exaggeration. And the actors look as if they belong."<ref>Shubhra Gupta (10 March 2013). {{cite web |title=Movie Review Saare Jahaan Se Mehenga:It looks and feels authentic, minus exaggeration |url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/movie-review-saare-jahaan-se-mehengait-looks-and-feels-authentic-minus-exaggeration/1085097/2 |publisher=[[The Indian Express]]}} {{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref> [[Rajeev Masand]] of [[News18]] gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and said that the film "is a well-intentioned satire constructed around a promising premise. But the film’s writers fail to build on their clever central idea, and ultimately deliver an undercooked script that lacks the consistent wit of 2010’s Phas Gaye Re Obama."<ref>{{cite web |title=Meet the hoarders! |url=http://www.rajeevmasand.com/reviews/our-films/meet-the-hoarders/ |publisher=[[Rajeev Masand]]}} 11 March 2013. {{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref>
