Release

''Variety'' wrote that "First half is enjoyably upbeat and thoroughly modern in repping a middle-class Bombay couple having bedroom problems, but the second part goes for cliches combined with uneasy humor that mixes messages and fails to get, um, a rise". ''Rediff'' wrote that "And it's definitely worth watching once". ''India Today'' wrote that "The movie is elegantly designed, its exotic colours making urban angst look Wong-kar-wai moody". ''Bollywood Hungama'' gave the film a rating of one-and-ahalf out of five and noted that "Director Rajat Kapoor gets it right in the first half, but not in the second".
