Reception

Taran Adarsh, writing for Bollywood Hungama, was critical of the movie. While he lauded the chase scenes and found the film's one song "foot-tapping", he felt the constant moving of the camera got irritating and concluded the screenplay, which he described as "hackneyed", "uninteresting" and "inconsistent", ruined what might have otherwise been an interesting film.^[4]
