Development and casting

The film is a joint production between ARY Films and Humayun Saeed's production house Six Sigma Plus. Iman Ali was first chosen as the female lead but due to some reasons she was replaced by Mehwish Hayat.[10] However, Saeed later clarified that Iman Ali was never officially a part of the film and that they were just in talks; and that he and Iman Ali mutually agreed that she will not be cast in this film but in the other film by Saeed in future.[11] The film also has renowned Pakistani television actors such as; Urwa Hocane, Ahmed Ali Butt, Saba Hameed, Sohail Ahmed, Azfar Rehman, Naveed Shehzad, Behroze Sabzwari, Safeena Sheikh, Samina Peerzada and Waseem Abbas.[12] Sohai Ali Abro was initially approached for Durdana's role which she refused to do. Talking about this, Saeed asserted, “We did approach Sohai for Urwa’s role but she wasn’t comfortable doing it. Maybe she expected a bigger role and this just wasn’t delivering it. I am planning to do a movie with Sohai next year, so hopefully, you will see us sharing screen soon.”[13]

Hamna Zubair of DAWN Images commented that the film's "comedy works", but until when a "slap made an appearance" as "this act of violence […] almost ruined" the film.[19]

Omair Alavi of Samaa TV rated 4 out of 5 stars, saying that it "has a message as well as entertainment value". Though, he noted that the roles of Humayun Saeed and Ahmed Ali Butt are hard to accept.[20]

Shahjehan Saleem of Something Haute rated 4 out of 5 stars and said that "the film soars high" because of "the stellar job" and "the script", and it "is so much more than just another glitzy show of emotions".[21]

Rabiya Maqbool writing for the website Bolo Jawan praised the film, stating that the director "...has succeeded once again in piecing together a film which is satisfyingly refreshing and a very welcome addition to our cinema".[22]
