| The Times of IndiaMeena IyerAkshay is the backbone of this satire. His inner journey as an actor pays dividends and he delivers yet another topnotch performance. |

| FilmfareRachit GuptaToilet - Ek Prem Katha is a solid entertainer with a strong social message. |
| Hindustan TimesRohit VatsIt's a story that delivers a really important message about personal hygiene and proper sanitation system in rural areas. It's just that we hear the messages clearly in the first 50 minutes. |

| User ReviewYash B"Toilet" is a solid movie that is mostly entertaining but wins you over with its social messages. I thought the premise in the movie was interesting and pretty eye-opening. The movie has a good balance of dramatic and lighthearted moments. I do feel the movie's pacing improves significantly in the second half. In the first half, it can be slow and somewhat uneventful, but the performances are always good, and Akshay Kumar plays a pretty likable character. It's a movie that makes the statement that sometimes you have to forget about what is deemed cultural and move forward with the times, and that is a commendably bold social comment. |
| User ReviewRavi NGreat movie. Very enjoyable. Not preachy like the formal reviews suggest. |
