Critical reception

BH Harsh of Firstpost gave the film a rating of three and a half stars out of five and wrote "Its ability to charter the uncomfortable lanes is its biggest strength which lies in the themes of justice and morality".[14] Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal gave the film a rating of three and a half stars and wrote "New kids on the block, Sidhant and Vedika, are the film's highlight.Sharad Kelkar as a ruthless cop in disguise, delivers an earnest performance".[15] Rachana Dubey of The Times of India gave it two and a half stars out of five and found that "a thriller-love story have been built well but the film eventually takes a completely different turn and it doesn't stitch well at the end."[16] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave the film two and a half stars out of five and observed, "the film is scarily effective in a 'but for the grace of God's way'," but criticized the performances as disappointing "because it did have something significant to say and chickened out".[17]
