Critical response

Both the ''Deccan Chronicle'' and ''The Times of India'' gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars. The ''Deccan Chronicle'' praised the performances of the cast and criticized the screenplay, saying that "However, had he had a tauter screenplay and closed all logical loopholes, the film would have made a difference". Similarly, ''The Times of India'' criticized the predictable screenplay and wrote that "But the biggest issue is how reveals the surprises in the name of foreshadowing. Rather than subtly introduce these elements into the plot, he underlines the moments".
