Reception[]

The Times of India gave the movie 3 stars out of 5 and said, "Despite the minor hiccups, ‘Chhota Bheem: Kung Fu Dhamaka’ largely works due to its strong emotional content."[5] The Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) wrote, "The plot and the screenplay, though laced with verbose exposition, is uncomplicated, smooth and direct with not much emphasis given to the finer nuances of Kung Fu. Nevertheless, the well-designed action sequences are crisp, relevant and lack the fun element that was noticed in the previous Chhota Bheem editions. The dialogues, too sound bland and unimpressive."[6]

Television series[]

The film was spun-off into an Indian 3D-animated television series of the same name, which started in 2020.[7]
