Marjaavaan has received mixed reviews from critics. In her review for  Firstpost , Anna Vetticad wrote, “Marjaavaan is so hackneyed that even the usually restrained Malhotra is driven to intermittent over-acting during its two-hours-plus running time. Deshmukh hams his way through playing Vishnu. Ms Sutaria is bland.”

Malhotra, whose last release was _Jabariya Jodi_ with Parineeti Chopra, plays a local thug Raghu in the film to Riteish Deshmukh’s Vishnu, a local mafia don. The film reunites the two actors onscreen after 2014’s Ek Villain, directed by Mohit Suri.

In an interview with _Firstpost_ , Sutaria called her role in Marjaavaan “challenging.” She said, “There is lot of crying and emoting, and especially since my character is mute, I had to express a lot with my hands and sign language. There is more scope to perform differently in Marjaavaan, whereas Student of the Year 2 was lot more fun. I suppose this one was far more challenging,.”

Marjaavaan is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar, Krishan Kumar (T-Series) and Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani and Nikkhil Advani (Emmay Entertainment).
