Critical reception

The film received average reviews from the critics.

Now Running - On the whole an enjoyable fare that is bound to be helpful to people justifying their cross cultural marriages.[10]

One India - It is a film worth watching by one and all. However, the commercial values in the film are a little less. But a film that could be watched together by the entire family.[11]
