A critic from The Times of India wrote that "While somewhere in the film is the seed of what could have been a fairly engaging film noir, the story just progresses with many flaws".[7] A critic from OTTplay wrote that "With only a handful of engaging sequences, the movie which has nothing new to offer is a tiresome watch".[8]
