Reception[edit | edit source]
Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "While a few action sequences manage to grab your attention, they aren't enough to salvage the overall experience. Romeo S3 tries to deliver a massy action thriller but ends up as an over-the-top masala fare with little payoff".[5] Sushmita Dey of Times Now gave the film the same rating and wrote, "In a nutshell, Romeo S3 is a beginner's entry in the action-thriller genre despite all its flaws. While it doesn’t break new ground, it delivers what it promises: a gripping ride full of grit, guns, and a crusade for justice".[6]
