Deadpool & Wolverine received 2.5 out of 5 stars in an NDTV review. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “The film employs a range of narrative scalpels for the in-your-face procedure. The results are mixed but certainly not wasted. It is stuffed to the gills with everything that superhero movie fans crave for but at times to the detriment to the tale that it is out to put together for a purpose larger than its physical details.” 

Deadpool & Wolverine is the third instalment in the Deadpool series. The first two films were released in 2016 and 2018.
