Reception
editA critic from The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "All in all, Hot Spot features three stories that are humorously evocative and a fourth one [Fame Game] that's deeply disturbing".[5] A critic from Cinema Express gave the film the same rating and wrote that "The overall film experience, however, is a mixed bag. We're left with plenty to think about, but the flaws are undeniable and linger on long after the credits roll".[2] A critic from Times Now gave the film the same rating and wrote that "In all, Hot Spot is a feminist film that raises more questions than it provides answers".[6]
