Udita Jhunjhunwala in her review for Firstpost wrote, "The director amps up the background music and sound effects in an attempt to underline the lame attempts at humour and also forgoes finesse and subtlety in storytelling."The film made headlines prior to its release as it seemed to share a similar plot with Ayushmann Khurrana's Bala. Director Abhishek Pathak told Indo-Asian News Service that when he reached out to Bala's team, they insisted their film is different from Ujda Chaman. He admitted to initiating legal action against them.Besides baldness, Ujda Chaman also takes a look at fat-shaming and the kind of ostracisation people face from society by the singular virtue of them being overweight. The film also features Saurabh Shukla, Gagan Arora, Karishma Sharma, Aishwarya Sakhuja, Atul Kumar, and Grusha Kapoor.
