Moneycontrol rated Jaat 3.5 out 5. Moneycontrol added, "Sunny Deol does what he does best—roaring into action, smashing goons, and dominating the screen like a one-man army. Director Gopichand Malineni delivers relentless action with a solid plot, tying together emotional backstories and Hollywood-inspired thrills with a distinctly Indian flavor, especially in the satisfying climax."

On the digital front, Jaat is reportedly set to premiere on Netflix by the end of May or early June, though an official confirmation is still awaited. With the film's theatrical success and impending OTT release, it’s clear that Sunny Deol is back in action — and this time, with the whole Deol family cheering him on.
