Prakash Jha's Raajneeti got rave reviews from most of the critics. The film got a very good opening on the day one just like 3 Idiots for six months last year. It was the highest grosser for the weekend surpassing Kites and Housefull.

The rediff review said that Raajneeti starts off aggressive, turns into a game of toppling pawns, and ends up a farce as Kunti meets Karan and the audience dissolves into giggles.

But the film was declared a hit.

Tees Maar Khan received mostly negative responses from critics. The curiosity value for the film was very high as this was the first time Farah Khan was working without Shah Rukh Khan. It was the second biggest opener of the all time on day one.
