Reception[edit]

The film received mixed reviews from critics. Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India wrote that "there are more misses than hits and as a viewer, you're left yearning for more."[13] Another critic of Cinema Express quoted "Thank You Brother is a better drama than a thriller."[14] A reviewer of India Today rated the film 2 out of 5 and stated that the film is yet another OTT film that is cliched and predictable and also said that the film's story does not offer anything new.[15]

The Hindu's Sangeetha Devi Dundoo wrote that "Despite the predictability of how things will unravel, I kept watching in the hope that Priya is safe and Abhi rises to the occasion and helps her." and compared the film with 2019 Nigerian film Elevator Baby.[16]

Karthik Kermalu of Film Companion wrote, "Thank You Brother is a lockdown film. Thank You Brother is also a coming-of-age drama."[17]
