Forrest Gump's official Hindi remake, Laal Singh Chaddha, Proma Khosla from Indie Wire wrote in her review, Instead of a box of chocolates or the obvious Indian equivalent. the film takes things a step further. Adding strong depth and resonance to what could otherwise have been an unremarkable adaptation.” She added, “Laal Singh Chaddha measures its emotional beats tactically. Deploying poignant punches sporadically throughout.”

 Fred Topel of United Press International is similarly satisfied with the adaption. “Laal Singh Chaddha is faithful to Forrest Gump from the floating feather to the plot structure. Since history is less vital to the narrative. It gives the story itself more weight, with some new thematic context.”

Slashfilm.com in their review wrote, "Laal Singh Chaddha might still be as fitfully mawkish as "Gump" in its tendency toward brazen sentimentality.  But is a film more deliberately rooted in philosophies of gentleness. It is the superior version." It also talked about a “cute cameo” by Shah Rukh Khan.
