Reception

Critical reception

Mohammad Kamran Jawaid of Dawn remarked that, ''Director Sangeeta's Sirf Tum He Toh Ho may have been a sufferable idea 15 years ago, but even then the script would have needed a re-write, and a better cinematographer, editor and director.''[10] Hassan Hassan of Galaxy Lollywood gave the verdict as, ''Watch Sirf Tum Hi Tou Ho if you are an ardent Danish Taimoor or Mathira fan or more rarely, if you love the cinema of yesteryear in any of its forms.''[11]

gollark: In any sane language, that would cause several type errors or something.
gollark: Yes, further evidence of PHP bad.
