Reception

The film received negative reviews from critics, although Kajal's performance was praised they criticized the story, screenplay and narration. Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 1/5 and wrote about the film that "Kajal Aggarwal deliver a decent performance and do justice to her character, as do Navdeep and Naveen Chandra. Suniel Shetty is dependable as ever but his character doesn't get enough screen time or depth to show off his acting chops. The music and BGM of the film by Sam CS is plain okay, not lending the film much gravitas".[12]

Adivi Sasidhar of Deccan Chronicle gave 1.5 out of 5 stars for the film and wrote "A poorly written and edited second half adds to the miserable experience. The investigation episodes lack common sense. The different character types and arcs in the latter half fail to add meat to the story. You’re left trying to make sense of total chaos. Music and cinematography are other major let-downs. You can’t root for the characters or anything else in the film. In a nutshell, it’s an ambitious story that fell prey to poor execution."[13]
