Reception

Upon release of the film's trailer, it garnered heavy positive response.^[3] The character of tantric reminds of Amrish Puri's role in 1986 film Nagina and Paysi Pandit's bad-ass woman role has been compared with Kangana Ranaut's role in Krrish 3 in which she stretches her tongue to tangle her enemies.^[7]
