Reviews of Couple Friendly

When the film was released in theatres, it received a lot of positive reviews from the audience. One user of X (formerly Twitter) who had analysed the movie shared, "The first half feels very youthful and energetic, with several scenes that Gen-Z audiences will particularly enjoy. In the second half, the director shifts focus toward family emotions, and that’s where the film connects more deeply. Amid the heavy emotional moments, #YogiBabu’s comedy works as a good relief."
