Reception

gave 2.5/5, saying "Sabbir Khan's story is decent though it gets clichéd at places", and "The scene where the fan comes flying towards Aditya and Shruti is terrifying. One might guess that the film will take a certain path. But it doesn’t and that makes the suspense unpredictable." Performances of all actors is praised.
