==Release and reception==
Originally planned for release in April 2013, it was delayed on numerous occasions. In June 2015, the female lead, Ranaut issued a legal notice to the producers of the film to attempt to stop the film's release as she felt that they were "cashing in on her recent box office success".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/kangana-ranaut-slaps-notice-on-t-series-to-block-i-love-ny-release/|title=Kangana Ranaut sends legal notice to T-Series to block the release of 'I Love NY'|work=The Indian Express|date=25 June 2015|access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref> Bhushan Kumar of T-Series responded that the rights had been sold to distributor Wave Cinema over 18 months ago and as Ranaut was not "an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) member of the film", the producers did not need her permission.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/bhushan-kumar-speaks-on-kangana-ranauts-legal-notice/|title=Rights of 'I Love NY' were sold more than 18 months ago: Bhushan Kumar on Kangana Ranaut's legal notice|work=The Indian Express|date=24 June 2015|access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref> The film released on 10 July 2015.
===Critical reception===
The film received generally negative reviews. Nishi Tiwari of [[Rediff.com]] wrote in a 1 out of 5 stars review that the film was "criminally unremarkable", criticising the story, and Deol's acting as he felt he wasn't a good fit for a romantic comedy.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-i-love-ny-a-great-disservice-to-new-years-eve-and-new-york/20150710.htm|title=Review: I Love NY, a great disservice to New Year's Eve and New York|work=Rediff.com|date=10 July 2015|access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref> Troy Ribeiro of [[NDTV]] gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, commenting the plot was "silly and far-fetched", and that Deol was miscast. Ribeiro pointed to Ranaut's performance as being the highlight of the film stating that she played her character with conviction.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie-reviews/i-love-ny-movie-review-1152|title=I Love NY Movie Review|publisher=NDTV|date=11 July 2015|access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref> ''[[Filmfare]]'' reviewer Rachit Gupta gave the film 3 out of 5 stars criticising the film's "mish-mash of sentimentality, annoying characters and clichéd rom com developments". Gupta also felt that Deol and Ranaut as a pair was a miscast, with Deol particularly not gelling as a romantic comedy lead. He also felt that the music was forgettable. However Gupta did praise Ranaut who he commented was the highlight of the film as "She's quite literally too good to be in this film".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.filmfare.com/reviews/movie-review-i-love-new-year-9800.html|title=Movie review: I Love New Year|work=Filmfare|date=11 July 2015|access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref>
