Reception

Syed Firdaus Ashraf of Rediff.com called the film ″Prem Agony″, stating ″There were a lot of expectations from this film, since Feroz Khan was betting his son's career on it. But the script and the music are ordinary; only the title song, Prem Aggan, is passable. ″Face it, guys and gals, Prem Aggan just isn't worth the trouble.″ [7] Deccan Herald wrote "Stylish villas, breathtaking locales, inimitable music - the hallmark of Feroz Khan`s films are all there, but what`s missing is urbanity which generally suffuses the plot and characters in Feroz`s films". [8]

Retrospectively, many reviewers put this film on the list of "worst movie ever made" for being "so bad it's good". [9] [10] [11]

Fardeen Khan's performance was not well received yet he was awarded Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his performance. In 2022, during an interview, Khan stated, ″I don't think I deserve that award. It was a culture and stuff back then, that people got awards like that. I look at my work, I definitely didn't deserve that. The film didn't work, I didn't work, I looked back and I thought I was horrible.″ [3]
