Reception
Haal-E-Dil fared poorly at the box office and with bigger films coming in, it soon found itself out of favour. It did not get any good reviews as well. Noyon Jyoti Parasara (AOL India) rated the film 2 out of 5 and stated, "The movie is based on one line - Magic starts where logic ends. But magic alone can't carry a film. You got to add logic too!"[2]
