Reception

The Indian Express wrote, "Balu Anand, the director, could have geared up the proceedings a bit as the slackness is obvious on certain portions".^[6] C. R. K. of Kalki wrote that the film's first half was good, but the director lost grip in the second half and the film became logicless.^[7]
