== Reception == === Critical response === ''Kaagaz Ke Fools'' received generally negative reviews from critics. The film is one of the worst movie of 2015. Shubhra Gupta of ''The Indian Express'' stated, "You keep wanting this film to ‘ho ja shuru’, but ‘Kaagaz Ke Fools’ doesn't have the feet for it."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/movie-review-kaagaz-ke-fools/|title=Movie review: 'Kaagaz Ke Fools'&nbsp;– Story is cut-rate, acting and sets shabby|newspaper=The Indian Express|author=Shubhra Gupta|date=24 April 2015|accessdate=25 April 2015}}</ref>

=== Ratings === Sushmita Murthy of ''Deccan Chronicle'' gave the film 1/5 stars and stated, "The name of the film leads you to believe that Kaagaz ke Fools is a comedy, but it is at best, an attempt at it with rather painful results."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/150424/entertainment-movie-review/article/movie-review-kaagaz-ke-fools-fools-paradise-0|title=Movie Review 'Kaagaz Ke Fools': Fool's paradise|newspaper=Deccan Chronicle|author=Sushmita Murthy|date=24 April 2015|access-date=25 April 2015}}</ref>

Shubha Shetty-Saha of ''Mid-Day'' giving the same ratings stated, "The 1959 Guru Dutt classic 'Kaagaz Ke Phool' was so ahead of its time that it tanked at the Box Office, and later got elevated to world cult classic status. Ironically, and perhaps reflecting the sad state of Bollywood’s growth, in 2015 we get a film titled 'Kaagaz ke Fools', which is so regressive and dated that it just might have made some sense back in the 50s. Well, if nothing, the film makes us painfully aware of the difference between a phool and a fool."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/kaagaz-ke-fools---movie-review/16162178|title='Kaagaz ke Fools'&nbsp;– Movie Review|newspaper=Mid-Day|author=Shubha Shetty-Saha|date=24 April 2015|accessdate=25 April 2015}}</ref>
