Reception
The film received poor critical reception. "The movie is the definition of chaos," said Punjabi Media.
Ballewood.in praised Pooja and made positive comments about performances, especially those by Tarun Khanna and Sahil Vedoliyaa, but found the movie's plot and screenplay disappointing: "This film provides an ample scope for criticism; however, there were some good performances. Some good music would probably have saved the movie from falling flat at the box office."
