Open magazine concluded his review saying, "Dimple is ravishing, yes, but the amateurish acting, typecasting and godawful songs let you down."

Hindustan Times gave it anegative review.
Anupama Chopra was critical of the film, the script and the story, but praised the leads. A more positive review came from
The Times of India, "Watch it for the veterans' winsome act, the spirit of Mumbai and for a tale told well." ==References==
