Reception

The Indian Express stated, "The performances are decent with Sudhir Nimai's Tyagi leading the pack. He's certainly one of the most watchable villains television has produced so far, Mangal Kenkre makes Vaani Rajhans her own as she lends the role with the right amount of tenderness and toughness, and Anshul Trivedi as good boy Nimai is endearing. All we wish is that the story be tighter and the pace quickened."[7]
