Reception
Namrata Joshi of The Hindu wrote, "The look is mint fresh and distinctly 'Indian', so is the lingo and the music. The bright animation, colourful props, puppet-like human figures and the rich production design with abundant use of our textiles, is gorgeous artwork in itself. The film is enchanting not just for the children but can hold an adult in thrall."[9] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the 3 out of 5, calling production design "remarkable" and music, "superb."[10]
The soundtrack for the film received positive reviews.[11]
