Another user shared, "#ChathaPacha arrives as a thunderous tribute to the attitude era of wrestling, staking its claim as India’s first film set against a WWE backdrop. For 90s kids, this film is not just a watch; it is a nostalgic trip down memory lane that delivers ultimate goosebumps." A third user wrote:

"#ChathaPacha ~ Popcorn Entertainer. 1st half is all build up, but its the 2nd half which shifts gear into Banger mode. Shankar Ehsan Loy's terrific score, Solid fight sequences & super performances from the entire cast with each having fire intros & Walter Entry."

Chatha Pacha has a flat and slow second half

While social media was flooded with positive reviews, some netizens expressed their disappointment towards the film, starring Arjun Ashokan. Some viewers felt that the film has a strong beginning, however, it slows down after the interval. One user wrote, "#ChathaPacha: The first half sets things up decently but the second half turns average with even the much hyped cameo failing to leave an impression. Overall disappointing experience...!!!" Another user penned, "Watched #ChathaPacha Good 1st half with terrific wrestling scenes followed by a flat 2nd half. Superb actions. Visuals & BGM top. Vishak steals the show. Writing is too bad. Zero emotional connection. Climax is a big letdown. Walter will be the next lottery for troll makers."
