Reception

[edit]

A review at TalkiesCorner described the film as "a gripping crime drama that takes viewers on a roller-coaster ride through the underbelly of Uttar Pradesh’s crime-infested Purvanchal region."[6] FilmInformation found that it was "a decently made film but it will not be able to do much at the turnstiles because of lack of face value and poor marketing."[7] Another review insisted that "Although it’s a Hindi movie, there is a touch of the local regional language of the Purvanchal region.”[3]
