“Aashiq’s cinematography is beautiful… everything is vivid and memorable,” writes the Times of India.

Some social media users commended the film for its “fantastic” cast and “hilarious one-liners.” An X user stated, “Packed with stylish gunfights and Anurag Kashyap’s Dileesh Pothan’s standout performance, this one is a fun entertainer.”

Speaking of the flaws, The Week pointed out that while the buildup was great, the stakes weren’t high enough. The review wished for better writing for the villains, especially Anurag Kashyap’s Don.

However, it commends Vishnu Agasthya for proving himself to be an actor to watch out for.

In its review, Timeline wrote, “Rifle Club is about guns, hunting, and the survival instincts of the human as a group. Except for the predictability and limited detailing, this Ashiq Abu movie is a good thriller that has proper descriptions of ideas and guns elaborated.”

Written by Syam Pushkaran, Dileesh Karunakaran, and Suhas, Rifle Club’s music has been composed by Rex Vijayan.
