Reception[edit source]
Critical response[edit source]
Haider Rifaat of The Express Tribune and Naya Daur gave the film a 4/5 rating and stated, "Heer Maan Ja was a crowd-puller. The theme, direction and music of the film were thoroughly entertaining. There were no loose ends and each character got closure, especially Heer. Many stars made brief cameos that positively influenced the story. With emphasis on minute details, the film was shot and acted out smartly."[6][7] Faisal Ali H of Hip in Pakistan praised the performances of Ali Rehman Khan and Hareem Farooq along with screenplay and direction. He made mention of supporting cast and said, "No review of Heer Maan Ja would be complete without the brilliant supporting performances and cameos." He felt that The film had lighthearted sequences, romance & emotions, which were woven into its chase-driven narrative. Concluding Saleem opined, "The film’s positive issue-based messaging is indicative of socially responsible filmmaking which must be lauded. The film easily has all it takes to keep you entertained for the over two hour of its runtime and will definitely spice up your Eid festivities. Momin Ali Munshi of Galaxy Lollywood gave film a 2/5 rating and stated, the plot was making sense but it became a mess because of unreasonable comedy. Film would be better if they reduce some of the comedy scenes and talk something sensible. "[8]
