It felt like watching another sequel of Chakka Panja mainly because most of the members of the cast were same and everything was presented in a similar way."[7] Anand Nepal of Xnepali wrote, "The movie is very entertaining, the actors have done a great job. The technical aspect of the movie is also very good."[8]
