Reception

Critical response

Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV gave 1 star out of 5 and stated,"Squad is designed to showcase Rinzing Denzongpa, veteran actor Danny Denzongpa's son, and Malvika Raaj, Anita Raaj's niece. All that the film manages to do is leave the hopeful duo high and dry because it just doesn't get off the ground. It is a non-starter of a launchpad. Squad isn't all action. It has a couple of songs. One is picturized in a bar somewhere in Eastern Europe where the heroine shakes a leg to the beat of a desi song. The other is a romantic ditty that interrupts a sequence in which the hero and the heroine are in grave danger and decide to lose themselves in the labyrinths of love."^[14]

Shubham Dwivedi from Pinkvilla gave a 2/5 rating and said, "Malvika Raaj delivers a generic performance and it is difficult to shine in a film that is loaded with the ulterior motive of serving lousy mediocrity by writer and director Nilesh. Rinzing is monotone and bland like a potato. The screenplay is a fish out of the water and seizes to surprise. The mighty predictable and tacky action sequences are merely choreographed to fulfill the runtime. The characters don’t have another dimension but the erratically misleading sense of jingoistic patriotism."^[15]
