Martin D'Souza, of Yahoo gave the film a rating of 2.5/5, complimenting the idea behind the film and the way in which this was presented, but stating that he felt that a subplot was added after what he felt should have been the climax, to the film's detriment.[3]DNA India editor, Kanika Sikka, gave the film an over-all negative review, noting that the score and the script were "not worth looking forward to" and "a let down", respectively.
