Reception

Anupama Chopra described the film as "delicious eye-candy with a rebellious core", and praised the performances of the ensemble cast.[27] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama found it a "well-packaged entertainer that has ample merits to strike a chord with the youth as well as families".[28] Tushar Joshi of India Today termed it a gentle reminder of Karan’s legacy.[29] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India wrote that it is "a full-on entertaining and sweet love story, with flashy and feisty characters given to us in a well-wrapped shiny package".[30] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com termed it a "shrewd subversion of traditions and values by the same man who popularised and glamorised its virtues to the hilt".[31] WION's Shomini Sen credited Singh and Bhatt for "salvag[ing] a predictable script credibly".[32]

Conversely, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express dismissed it as a "loud and melodramatic film" with "a lot of emotions, but little originality".[33] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in found it "ostentatious" and "pretentious", and criticised its "overly long, tonally jittery, and stereotype-filled narrative".[34] NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee concluded that "the film is a shiny but shallow family drama that uses disappointingly obsolete methods to serve up contemporary, pertinent theories about the need to be mindful in love, loyalty and language".[35]
