The Times of India gave this film two out of five stars saying that "The director drives home his message with TV soap opera-ish filmmaking and the subtlety of a sledgehammer".[6] However, News Today Net wrote "Though there are some flaws, yet the intention of the filmmaker should be appreciated. He has stayed away from commercial cliches to drive home a string message".[7]
