Reception
The film received mixed reviews from critics. The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "It is the best of times.. If you are in the mood for fun mixed with seriousness, this movie is for you" [8]
Perceived drawback of the film was that it does not have any transitory segments/voice-over or creative cues surrounding time travel, legal proceedings, and social justice however few critics heaped praises on the film.
The climax of the film was later changed and it was better received and understood by the audience. [9]
