Reception

''Bollywood Hungama'' wrote "The story of the film has nothing new to offer ? it's an amalgamation of several Hindi films released earlier. The story hardly moves in the initial portions, but does pick up with Sunil Shetty's introduction. But the expectations pale subsequently as Sunil's role lacks substance". ''The Hindu'' wrote "This is an assorted fare - a scene stolen from here, a scene from there but the sum of the parts does not add up to much. Honestly, this film defies logic, mocks at intelligence, and in the end, it is plainly ridiculous". ''Deccan Herald'' wrote " .the movie fails to entertain because of its repetitive theme. Equally faulty is its storyline that has only loopholes in it".
