Jha said that he "emotes, he dances and yes, he can fight".[30] However, Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times disagreed, calling his "dialogues forced" and said "his expressions do nothing in a given situation". In spite of terming his performance "a little unconvincing", Kaushal called his action sequences "admirable" and said he's a "great dancer".[31] Shroff's portrayal fetched him the Screen Award for Best Male Debut and the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Male in addition to a nomination in the same category at the 60th Filmfare Awards.

It received negative reviews from critics.[48] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Despite lavish production value and fantastic stunts by Shroff, Heropanti 2 suffers from a poor storyline".[49] The film eventually became a box-office bomb.[50]
In 2023, Shroff starred in Vikas Bahl’s science fiction action film Ganapath, in which he reunited with Kriti Sanon.[51][52] Bhavna Agarwal of India Today noted, "Tiger Shroff is great with action sequences, as always, but fails to evoke an emotional chord as Guddu/Ganapath."[53] Once again, it was a major commercial failure.[54]
Shroff teamed with Akshay Kumar in Ali Abbas Zafar's action film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan which released in 2024.[55] It received negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office.[56]
