Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, writing ″Director Saurabh Shukla is a fairly good story teller, but he seems to have got confused midway, whether to make a realistic film or a love triangle, with songs aplenty. On the technical side, the cinematography is just about okay. Dialogues are well penned at places, especially the ones delivered by the two warring politicians.″[2]
