Release

The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that "What makes this protracted film just that bit bearable are the supporting actors who makes us relate to the characters".[5] Behindwoods gave the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and write that "The excessively slow paced drama also gives a TV ‘mega-serial’ effect every now and then".[4]
