Behindwoods.com described the film, citing "taking a look at the positives of the movie, the choice of subject should come first. It is a sensitive theme which has a lot of scope and the director did show good vision in choosing it. But everything else is downhill." Sify labelled it as a "big bore", citing "it is one of the most turgid and regressive movies in recent times. There is no semblance of style or substance and is extremely slow moving, or more importantly lacks a script!".
