The film received a 3 stars out of 5 review in The Times of India , in which Sreeparna Sengupta praised the acting.

[12] Writing for Times Now News Mimansa Shekhar stated, "Relatable in parts, pleasant in the rest. A breezy watch through the inner depths of a family that might be fighting a war on he outside, but are tied up in the same thread from within. A déjà vu!" [13] The film was described by Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV as "unpretentious and steadfastly simple". [14]

[15] In a review for The Hindustan Times , Rishabh Suri wrote, "Sobhita Dhulipala's family drama loses pace quickly, leaves you underwhelmed". [16] "Sonali Kulkarni brings an easy gravitas to a film marred by melodrama", stated Kartik Bhardwaj in Cinema Express . [17]
The film received another mixed review, in The New Indian Express , which concluded "Sometimes films are like that, neither good or bad, merely meh." [18] The Deccan Chronicle [19] praised, again, the intention, but criticised the screenplay and acting, stating "Filled with clichés and predictability, the film lacks in performance and even more in emotional value."
