It felt like watching another sequel of Chakka Panja, mainly because most of the members of the cast were the same and everything was presented similarly."[8] Anand Nepal of Xnepali wrote, "The movie is very entertaining, the actors have done a great job. The technical aspect of the movie is also very good."[9]
