Nonetheless, it remains a thought-provoking watch, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and triumphs of political leadership in contemporary India."

Its failure to craft a compelling narrative and reliance on formulaic tropes also overshadow its positive intentions, making it a missed opportunity to explore meaningful themes and ideas." [7] while FIlm Information called it a "propaganda film". [8]
