Reviews

Rediff.com's Suparn Verma commented that the script has this no-nonsense look to it, clearly and succinctly establishing the protagonist's past, and that the movie manages to marry serious cinema with the commercial variety. The director praised the departments of direction, music, choreography, and deemed the camerawork good in parts but lacking technical finesse in addition to Naseeruddin Shah, Aamir Khan, and Sonali Bendre's acting efforts.
