Reception
editA critic wrote that "Aashiq Vanna Divasam faces the problem of how to keep the audience engaged till they are led to the major theme. The conflict is apt for the drama but the issue is how long you bear the same thing that gets repeated? The mediocre treatment conveys the same impact".[9]
