Reception

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, J2M2 leaves you wondering if this really is 'josh ka naya mantram'. The film might appeal to a section of the audience, but a universal appeal is ruled out. Also, a difficult-to-pronounce title will only go against it. However, excellent promotion by iDream may salvage the show to an extent in big cities."
