Release

The Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of one-and-half out of five stars and wrote that "If this film was meant to be about women’s empowerment, fantasy is a strange way to go. If it was meant to be a caper, the few laughs it raises are entirely unintentional". [6] The Times of India gave the film the same raing and wrote that "Was it supposed to be about female empowerment, wish fulfilment, self-realisation or clandestine romance? Can't say, 'cause nothing really comes through in this completely garbled venture which sees Raima Sen sharing sweet nothings with ready-for-a-fancy-dress Randeep Hooda who happens to be as unreal as the film itself". [7] Indian Express wrote that "This could have been a nice, light-hearted lark. What we get instead is a lost opportunity, top lining Arbaaz who doesn't get to crack a single smile, Raima who tries very hard to rise above the script, and major irritant Randeep, who changes costumes and strikes poses".
