Reception

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the two out of five, writing, "Post-interval, the story continues to move forward, but the pace drops at this juncture. Although the story moves on a singular track, somehow it does not measure up to the expectations raised by the first half." Namrata Joshi of Outlook gave the film two out of four, writing, "Sadly, the filmmaker doesn't try and recreate Mumbai as a hyper-real entity. Once Chutki arrives in the big city, reality steps into the cinematic frame and with it so do the cliches about it."
