Critical reception

Omair Alavi wrote that the film "makes your belief stronger in clean comedy" because it "delivers a clean comedy" on "situations, more than dialogues." [9] Shafiq Ul Hasan rated 2 out of 5 stars and wrote in The Express Tribune that it "is an earnest attempt" and "offers a fresh script" to "those who like stage plays and prefer loud comedy." [10] Sonia Ashraf of Dawn Images said that the "plot for this romantic comedy sounds simple enough", unfortunately "it fizzled out" due to "a poor script". [11] Asjad Khan of OY! wrote that it "is an entertaining film, with a social message" and "a worthy effort for "an independent film maker", however, "it could have been better if" focused a "bit more in building the relationship between" the lead pair. [12] Yousuf Mehmood rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote on PakistaniCinema.net "the film drags a little, and its cinematic appeal is lacking" but it is "a purely comedic film where the audience was howling laughing, along with their families." [13] Usman Ghafoor of Gulf News commented, "The humour here is essentially situational and verbal", but "throughout the narrative, the film keeps returning to slapstick", and "cinematography is perhaps its other weak point." [14] Hassan Hassan of Galaxy Lollywood said that it is a "socially relevant" film whose "cast offer moments of fun with their acting" but rated only 1.5 star out of 5 and added that "the cast alone, isn't able to save the film from being a disastrously boring affair" as it is not entertaining.
