Shyamrao, a corrupt politician, decides to get his son, Varad, married to a pregnant woman named Sanika. However, problems arise when the father of Sanika's unborn child resembles Varad's brother.
Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta wrote "This confusion has proved fatal to his character. In fact, Swapnil's hard work both physically and mentally for this film is visible, but it does not make an impact. Despite being the first film, System Ghogre has played the role of Sanika well. Despite the potential in the story, director Rakesh Sarang's insistence on dramaturgy does not make this 'Battlefield' effective despite the powerful warriors". [6] A reviewer from Lokmat says "It has to be said that Swapnil has won in this film. Swapnil has done amazing acting in many scenes only through eyes. The film's dialogues are also applaudable. Except for Sakhya Re, no song in the film is lip smacking. Overall if you are a fan of Swapnil Joshi then definitely don't miss this movie". [7] Keyur Seta from Cinestaan.com says "There is nothing more to his act though. Swwapnil Joshi shows the right attitude needed for his mysterious character. But his character lacks depth and layers". [8] Ibrahim Afghan from Maharashtra Times wrote "There is consistency in Sachin's acting. The role of Swapneel is actually completed by a hair dresser. He has acted while picking up his mouth". [9] Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India says "The promos of this film had raised expectations and for a fair amount of time, the team tries to meet those. Ultimately, what could've been a pretty good watch ends up being just a decent one". [10]
