Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 29% of 7 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.5/10.

A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Ishq Vishk Rebound has youthful appeal but it suffers due to a weak second half."

Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave the film two and a half out of five stars and wrote, "Ishq Vishk Rebound starts off as being a frothy romantic comedy but then loses its fizz midway. Watch it if you have a yen for rom coms and have to catch every such outing…"

Bhavna Agarwal of India Today gave the film two and a half out of five stars and wrote, "The major problem with the film is not that it makes rebound seem 'frivolous'. But, it makes a half-hearted attempt or resorts to tokenism to entertain. It is funny and cheesy, yes! But all of this without a soul, feels like a wasted opportunity."

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film two and a half out of five stars and wrote, "The best way to approach Ishq Vishk Rebound as a viewer is not to expect the world from it. At least parts of it might then pleasantly surprise you."

Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint wrote, "Ishq Vishk Rebound is not a horrible movie – it has some of its better moments. There are times when the dialogues get an unexpected laugh out of you even as they remind you how inconsistent the writing has been."

Mayur Sanap of Rediff.com rated 1.5/5 stars and notes "Ishq Vishk Rebound is a drab romance and dull comedy that even the intended teen audience might have a hard time keeping up with."

Box office

The Film was Big Flop.The film collected ₹1 crore on its first day with a weekend total of ₹3.40 crore with a lifetime collection of ₹6.02 crore only. The small box office collection is also attributed to the fact that the film was released in only around 700-800 theatres nationwide.
