On release, the film received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Ahmed Jaishan from Sun called the film an "outdated melodrama, re-created from the 90s”.[11] Praising the chemistry and the "eternal love" of the parents, Hameed and Nahidha, Jaishan is pleased with the acting performance of Azim and Jihad though he noted that Noora is "camera unfriendly and shy" in most scenes.[11]
