Plot
The film looks at the way we casually live in a class system built on blatant economic and social disparities, the way we want to be fooled by our belief systems, the way we validate our tastes and are also very protective of them. By exploring a counter-point for every point, the film subtly questions not only our material value system but also our emotional value system.[5]

Critical reception
Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter praised the acting performances and the dialogues of the film saying that, "India’s classes face off in an energetic, off-beat young road movie poised between drama and farce."[2] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 and said that, "Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai is about people screwed up as much by the system as by their own follies, but the final impact of the film is not as gloomy as the title might suggest."[8] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India praised the acting performances but criticized the film saying that, "Its abstract concept makes no impact, pseudo-intellectual execution fails to strike a chord and irrelevant scenes elongate your agony. Ordinary lives make for extraordinary tales if told commendably, which is not the case here." and gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5.[3] Kusumita Das of Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that, "The makers of Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai had an idea, but perhaps didn’t know how best to go about executing it. The story has pace but falters when it comes to substance."[9]
