Reception
Sukhpreet Kahlon of The Indian Express gave the film four out of five, writing, "The strongest suit of the film undoubtedly is its art direction, costume and set design that create a visually cohesive historical atmosphere for the unfolding of the story. The sepia tint, muted colours, hair and make-up, draw from photographs of the incident to faithfully reproduce it on the big screen. Different Punjabi accents capture the diversity of the passengers from various parts of undivided Punjab and it is these nuances that make the film stand out."[6]
Gurnaaz of The Tribune gave the film two and a half out of five, praising the performances, direction and cinematography but criticising the pace, writing that the "film moves at a slow pace, and some scenes feel stretched and tend to get boring. But, thankfully, the message is not lost."[7]
