Reception

edit

Shubhra Gupta, writing for the Indian Express, remarked, "A film that dares to accommodate these lines is a rarity. However, they become overshadowed by the mundane storytelling. The subplot involving the 'madam sarpanch,' who outsmarts her thuggish husband (Bhagwan Tiwari), relegates the attempted subversion to a secondary role. The criticisms aimed at 'TV anchors who spread hate' and corrupt politicians who are skilled deceivers end up being ineffective. It's important to note that good intentions don't always translate into good films."[8] She has given 1.5 rating out of 5.

Dhaval Roy, reviewing for The Times of India, has given a rating of 2.5 out of 5.[9]
