She praised the film's cinematography, production work, and all the four leads while criticised Bajwa for being "out of character" sometimes. In last added, "With all its complications and confusions, the film mostly keeps you glued. Just, at times, you do wonder where it is all going. So many stories running parallel to each other is perhaps the film’s Achilles heel. One gets distracted and none of the story really gets justice as the slow-paced movie is suddenly rushed to a rather slack ending."[26] Monita Sharma of IamPunjaabi gave four out of five stars and praised the concept of the film.
