Audience reaction on Rifle Club

A user wrote on X, "#RifleClub (Netflix) solidly written and stylishly shot, 'Rifle Club' is an entertaining action thriller that keeps giving constant genre highs. The last 40 minutes was absolute cinema. Had a blast. IMO one of the best action films (if not the best) that has come out from India."

Highly recommending the film, another user wrote, "If you are looking for an old-school pulpy movie, look no further than Rifle Club. Fantastic action set-pieces, brilliant references & poking fun at the mainstream cinema which seems to think you need excessive BGM & big guns to elevate action sequences. Highly recommended".

"For me Rex Vijayan's BGM was the standout one in the whole movie. Waiting for its OST to release and have a bang of fun again
Ashique Abu's choices as a creator didn't go in vain like his previous one. Casts had the aura to strike the entertainment straight to my eyes," wrote another person
