Reception

Sundarji of Kalki felt the antics of four lead actors are terrible but enjoyable in few places and also added it seems the producer Choudhary nodded the script because of its concept which was similar to the previous films he had produced. He also added that Sukanya and Napolean were wasted and called music a mere decoration.^[5]
