Reception
editNeeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "Stand Up Rahul is the kind of film you want to watch over a large tub of popcorn and while it might be flawed, it also works in bits and pieces. Watch it if breezy rom-coms are your thing".[5] A reviewer of Pinkvilla gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote "In 'Stand Up Rahul', emotional monologues that should have been ideally spoken in private take the form of public whining - all in the name of stand-up comedy".[6] A reviewer from The Hans India gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote "As a final note, “Stand Up Rahul is a youthful drama that has a few good moments to enjoy but lack of gripping scene order and abruptly written characterizations make the film a disappointing watch".[7] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated "What could have been a refreshing coming-of-age romantic comedy gets marred by clumsy writing".[8]
