Reviews

The Times of India refers to the film as "A dash of Dil , a pinch of Saptapadi , sprinkled with the eloping sequence from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and a tad of the possessive SRK in Darr ." The reviewer criticizes the "terribly illogical" story, the "poor" script, and the song lyrics which "hardly add any zing to the film." [3]
