An intelligently packaged complication."[8] Rumnique Nannar said "Aiyyaa is one of the most spirited and hilarious albums in such a long time that lives up to its trailer and wacky style.

India Masala
The film was released worldwide on October 12, 2012. The film garnered positive reviews. While the performance by Rani was praised and admired by the critics, the inadequacy of the plot led to its disappointing outcome. Bravos, a movie review aggregator website specifically for Indian movies, assigned the film a average score of 38 (out of 100) based on 7 reviews from mainstream critics, which is considered to be an average score. Madhureeta Mukherjee of Times of India gave it 4 stars. "With such a talented ensemble, this one turns into a masterpiece mainly by rani mukerji's wonderfull performance ." said ToI.[10] Faisal Saif of Independent Bollywood gave it 4.5 stars and said "Aiyyaa is an amazing movie. It must be watched."[11] Rediff Movies called Aiyyaa a complete entertainer and gave it 4 stars. "Aiyyaa is let down by its weak script" writes Prasanna D Zore of rediff.[12] Roshni Devi of Koimoi gave it 3 stars. " Watch Aiyyaa for a quirkily different film with very good performances but be warned that it drags." wrote Roshni Devi.[13] Social Movie Rating site MOZVO gave it 2.9 putting Aiyyaa in 'Average' category.[14] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 3 stars.[15] Kanika Sikka of DNA gave it 3.5 stars. "Aiyyaa is an average entertainer" said DNA.[16] Kerala Films gave the movie 2 stars and added "Aiyya is let down by a confused script.".[17] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times rated Aiyya 2 Stars and added "Whackiness can't carry a film.".[18] Reviewers on IMDb gave Aiyya an overall all mark of 4.2 out of 10.[19] Shilpa Jamkhandikar of India Masala rated Aiyaa 5 stars praising the cast and the stories, however saying 'What it doesn’t have is something that binds all of this together. Kundalkar makes a bizarre mash-up of several genres and ends up with a film that doesn’t do too much justice to any one of them.[20] Raghavendra Singh of FilmFare praised the movie and says 'It takes courage to present something never-done-before on the larger-than-life canvas of the big screen. And surprisingly debut director (at least in Hindi films) Sachin Kundalkar shows this trait with great effect in his film Aiyyaa. Hats off to an established star, Rani Mukerji, for showing such conviction in Kundalkar’s experimental vision. This truly is a good time for Hindi cinema'.[21]
Aiyyaa did poorly in overseas markets with its opening collecting around $125 500 in overseas.[22] Subesquently it was declared a Flop by Box Office India for it's overseas performance.
Aiyya had many high expectations at the box office from both filmmakers and box office predictors due to high advertisement and raving reviews from the trailers and promos alike. They were expecting 80% - 100% occupancy throughout the country on its opening day and would moved onto collecting 4 - 5 crore on the first weekend. However in actual fact, Aiyyaa opened to 20 - 25% occupancy and gained a disappointing 3 crore. It did better in the maharashtra ranging from 40-50% in the region. On its second day, Aiyyaa went on to collect 3.50 crore and on Sunday it collected 3.20 cr
In the middle of mayhem where 8 releases were fighting, Aiyyaa was the only one which came out with some kind of respectable number. With Marathi flavor the film was helped of content as film remained poor in other parts.
Total Collections is 16.02 Crores
In total the film got very low collections yet became an average success at box office of India.
