Reception
A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "With shades of Kyun...! Ho Gaya Na (Aishwarya Rai, Vivek Oberoi, Amitabh Bachchan), one wonders why the director made such a film which is not rivetting at all. One can almost predict what happens and the climax is rather hackneyed".[5] A critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "First half of the film is neat. Second half is stuffed with lot of melodrama and it appears boring, at times".[6]
