Stutee Ghosh from ''[[The Quint]]'' gave the film a rating of 1/5 and wrote, ‘‘''Satyameva Jayate 2'' is all noise and no substance’’. She further stated, ‘‘''Satyameva Jayate 2'' is mind-bogglingly, excruciatingly loud, on-the-nose, screechy and melodramatic’’.<ref>{{Cite news|date=February 25, 2021|title=Review: 'Satyameva Jayate 2' is All Noise And No Substance|url=https://www.thequint.com/amp/story/entertainment/movie-reviews/satyameva-jayate-2-john-abraham-milap-zaveri-movie-review|access-date=November 26, 2021|website=[[The Quint]] }}</ref> Syed Firdaus Ashraf of ''[[Rediff.com|Rediff]]'' gave the film a rating of 1.5/5 and criticized its script by stating, ‘‘''Satyamev Jayate 2'' has a dated circa 1990s script which won't find acceptance with today's generations’’.
