Critical reception

Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 0.5 out of 5 and said that, "The film is a blatant scene-to-scene copy of Hollywood thriller P2 (2007). While the original film was mediocre itself, it seems remarkable compared to this one." [8] Johnson Thomas of The Free Press Journal criticized the film saying that, "There’s little logic in the interplay and much less in the premeditated convolutions in the story telling that leads up to a suspect ending." [9] Rajesh Kumar Singh of Bollywood Trade gave the film a rating of 0 out of 5 and said that, "The film seems to have been made to showcase the histrionic prowess of Dillzan Wadia who hams all the way to ignominy and ridicule. It’s an unimaginatively directed, written, photographed and edited film." [10]
