Vibe is drawing strong praise on Twitter for its humour, performances and nostalgic flavour. Netizens call Kunal Kemmu “in top form,” applauding his consistency after Madgaon Express and his chemistry with Sparsh Shrivastava. Many highlight the film’s light, uncomplicated tone, action-laced spy storyline and Preity Zinta’s presence, saying it’s among the most entertaining recent theatrical comedies.
Kunal Kemmu has spent years being the guy who steals scenes with perfect comic timing, and Vibe feels like him leaning into that fully, this time from the director's chair as well. It's his second film behind the camera after Madgaon Express, and he's also front and centre as an actor, sharing the screen with Preity Zinta and Sparsh Shrivastava. Now that the film is out, the first wave of reactions is rolling in on Twitter, and the reviews so far point in one direction, people are laughing, and a lot of that credit is going to Kemmu's comic instincts and his chemistry with Shrivastava.
The first reactions to Vibe are largely centred on its humour, performances and the chemistry between Kunal Kemmu and Sparsh Shrivastava. Anmol Jamwal wrote, "Kunal Khemu is in top form in #Vibe. All the gags don’t land but the man’s commitment to the absurdity is so much fun to watch!"
Apna Bollywood also noted the film's throwback comedy flavour, writing, "Early reactions for #VIBE are Looking Greate A few reactions mention that it has the feel of those 2000s Bollywood comedies - light, uncomplicated and made primarily for laughs. First Madgaon Express, and now Vibe. Kunal Kemmu as a director is showing incredible consistency."
Amar Singh Rathore shared a particularly positive response after watching the film in a theatre, writing, "Saw #VIBE & I can easily say it’s the most entertaining film in the recent times. The whole theatre was laughing which has become so rare! A clean, balanced & high on humour film. #PreityZinta & #KunalKemmu are exceptional in their parts. Organic comedy for the win"
Vasu Kapoor, who posts as Filmydunniyaaa, praised both Kemmu's acting and direction, writing, "#Vibe Is A Fantastic Comedy Film With Great And Youth Appealing Humour Story is Nice But Screenplay is Extraordinary Throughout The Film #kunalkemmu I dont Have Words He is Best As Director and Actor Wow Dialogues are Crazy"
KshitizCritic praised the central pairing, writing, "Vibe till now is a very fun ride with brilliant performances of Kunal Khemu as Hardik and Sparsh as Bug, The chemistry between them is insanely funny till now. There are some punchy dialogues and funny moments that will make you laugh, Though some dialogues are Cringe and brain-rot but overall it’s decent till here."
With Preity Zinta returning to the big screen and Kemmu balancing acting with directing, the film has plenty of familiar faces while also introducing newcomer Vanshika Dhir. Its story follows two friends who find themselves caught up in an increasingly wild spy adventure, giving the comedy an action-heavy backdrop.
Vibe released in theatres on September 18, 2026, with Kunal Kemmu, Preity Zinta and Sparsh Shrivastava leading the cast. The film marks Kemmu's second directorial after Madgaon Express and continues his focus on comedy, friendship and escalating situations.
Going by what's showing up on Twitter right now, Vibe seems to be winning people over the old fashioned way, by making them laugh out loud in a packed theatre, with Kemmu and Shrivastava's on screen partnership turning out to be the film's biggest draw.
