Reception edit
A critic from The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "All in all, Hot Spot features three stories that are humorously evocative and a fourth one [Fame Game] that's deeply disturbing".[5] A critic from Cinema Express gave the film the same rating and wrote that "The overall film experience, however, is a mixed bag. We're left with plenty to think about, but the flaws are undeniable and linger on long after the credits roll".[2] A critic from Times Now gave the film the same rating and wrote that "In all, Hot Spot is a feminist film that raises more questions than it provides answers".[6]
