Reception

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars, and wrote, "There’s a pleasing sincerity about Ritvik Sahore, and Rajeshwari Sachdev and Mahesh Narayanan are both capable of breathing life into a scene. But with so little lift from the writing, they all come off cliched." [2]

Archika Khurana of The Times of India rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and concluded, "The tone of this 114-minute film is lighthearted, and the dialogues are pedestrian but funny in parts." [3]
