Directed by Gauravv K Chawla, Baazaar opened to mixed reviews from the critics. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee in his review for NDTV gave Baazaar 2 stars out of 5. "A c, Baazaar, directed by first-timer Gauravv K Chawla, spins mainly around on stock devices. A small-town lad heads to Mumbai with the intention of working with his role model, a corporate czar with a rags-to-riches story that begins at the age of ten with smuggling diamonds on crowded Surat to Mumbai express trains. The two worlds collide, the contrast between a 100-meter sprint and a marathon race is discussed, numbers are crunched, nefarious deals are struck, stocks are bought and dumped and fortunes are made and marred," he wrote.
Baazaar also features Radhika Apte, Chitrangada Singh and Rohan Mehra. Vinod Mehra's son Rohan, made is Bollywood debut with Baazaar.
Meanwhile, Ayushmann Khurrana's Badhaai Ho, which released last week, continued its remarkable run at the box office. Badhaai Ho raked in Rs 69.50 crore within nine days.
