Box office

The film did average business at the box office largely due to lack of publicity and no promotions for the music. The timing of the theatrical release was at the time of Muharram a time of religious austerity for the audience. The film also failed to garner immediate critical acclaim though reports from the audience was positive with unofficial blogs being written on the movie as the most underrated gem of the year and fair amount of positive viewer comments.

Awards

''Aagey Se Right'' was nominated for the annual SXSW "Excellence in Title Design" Awards 2010, and was the only Indian finalist at the awards. The title design has been designed and animated by Upasana Nattoji.
