Neha Vashisht of The Times of India gave the film a rating of four out of five stars wrote that "A big shout out to the writer and director of the movie Rakesh Dhawan, who has come up with such a brave concept. He has also done the dialogues and the screenplay of the movie, which has kept the whole plot together. The jokes and punches in the movie are simply effortless and will make you laugh instantly. At the same time, when it comes to the portrayal of heavy emotions, the movie has the power to leave you with teary eyes".[5] Sukhpreeth Kahlon of Cinestaan opined that "The performances are adequate and the cinematography captures the vastness of the landscape and the ordeal of the migrants. However, in its zeal to depict hardships, the film becomes a protracted drama, especially in the second half".[6]
