As soon as the teaser of the film was released, several netizens slammed the film and call it another propaganda project after The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story. A netizen wrote, "New propaganda after Kerala and Kashmir." Another netizen wrote, "Most flop actors directors and producers have cracked the Indian majority. Vivek Agnihotri, Adah Sharma can never do a non-propaganda film and earn 200 cr at box office with their skills. Good to see musalmanon ki wajah se kitne leaders aur artists ka ghar chal raha hai." One of the netizen added, "One more propaganda movie...lakh bura chahe tho kya hoga wohi hoga Jo manzure Khudha hoga." An internet user added, "Bollywood is continously losing its charm becoz of such movies." 

72 Hoorain is produced by Ashoke Pandit. The makers claim that the film will highlight the concept of 72 Hoorain used by extremist leaders to manipulate and brainwash new recruits. 72 Hoorain will release in cinemas on July 7, 2023.
