Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "To chose[sic] a subject that deals with depression and suicide as the central theme and converting that into a comedy is tough. One must applaud the writing for making this believable". ^[5] A critic from The New Indian Express opined that "Unfortunately, NSIIH, a film that highlights the issue of depression with limited doses of humour, is neither relatable nor is it funny". ^[6] A critic from Deccan Herald said that "While there is a sincere attempt to address the immediate issue of depression, especially with the increased numbers during and post pandemic lockdown, the movie does take a set back in terms of relaxed storytelling and a hurried closure". ^{[7] [8]}
