Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami - Movie Reviews

It's not just a film but a philosophy.
Times of India
The film is positioned as a satire about politics and corruption, and Rahil Qazi’s script makes veiled references to well-known leaders
Rajeev Masand
I'm going with two out of five for Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami. Promising but doesn't quite take flight.
IBN
As you may know, the film's title refers to the 21-gun salute reserved for important occasions and for military and state funerals
Sify
A promising storyline that ends up as Facepalm

Movie Zadda
Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami isn’t the worst film ever made. It’s got its moments. But when it comes to cinematic quality it has no leg to stand on. It’s just too erratic to merit any credibility
Filmfare
Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami is not brilliant but somehow it wasn’t too bad either
Koi Moi

Anupam Kher, who plays dead in this week’s release, also played dead in that appalling comedy Rahul Rawail’s Buddha Mar Gaya.

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami could have been flawless but for slightly substandard dialogues and cinematography

Joshi dies and his son standing next to his dead body calls a helpline to enquire where he could buy cannons. Does the comedy work during this tragedy? It doesn't!
India Today
Setting a niece example on how to buffon  rap good satirical intentions, Nautanki Films and Pen in association with Shikhar Films ‘Ekkees Toppon Ki Salami’ helmed by first timer Ravindra Gautam ( a known name in small screen) is an exaggerated satire that aims at the common man plight with honest arrows but fails to reach its target (the common audience) as it forgets to ‘bow’ to the genre completely to make any relevant social commentary.
