Suparna Sharma of The Week stated "It’s easy to make a big film about big things with big characters. But it’s always difficult to write with nuance about the daily occurrences.." [24] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in praised Divya Dutta's performance and wrote "Although Kiran’s track is the most complicated as well as the most easily resolved, Dutta is an endearing superwoman." [25] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint gave some positive review with 3.5/5 stars "Tahira Kashyap Khurrana’s film leaves you wanting more – both of it and from it." [26]
