Reception
[edit]Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote. "On the whole, TUMSA NAHIN DEKHA has excellent music as its trumpcard, but it falters in that one department that is the lifeline of every film - script".[2] In a retrospective review in 2020, Rishita Roy Chowdhary of India Today wrote that "Tumsa Nahin Dekha is not an unusual film. But we believe it makes a bold move, if not take a giant leap in terms of modern storytelling".[4]
