- Movie Talkies |

- Business Of Cinema |

"just about average due to its varied script and the umpteen twists and turns. But the pace is too slow and screenplay has a lot of vagueness"
- Bollywood Mantra |
| 2.0 |
"unfolds at a pace slower than a melting candle. But skillfully directed by debutant Navdeep Singh, the film works as a show reel for the talents of everyone involved"
- IBN Live |

"begins with a lot of promise, but then falls into a trap in which the director does not know how to extricate himself"
- Glamsham |
