Reception

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 2 out of 5, writing ″Manoj Bajpai handles his role with amazing ease. He is superb in two sequences mainly, his angry outburst ith Shamitaand the courtroom sequence in the pre-climax. Shilpa Shetty maintains the studied silence part with grace and maturity. Shamita Shetty is getting better with every film. First ZEHER and now FAREB, she has evolved into a fine actor. Also, she exhibits her anatomy without any inhibitions. Kelly Dorji is expressionless. Milind Gunaji and Parmeet Sethi are okay. On the whole, FAREB is an average fare. Patcy N of Rediff.com wrote ″Tijori got actors like Bajpai and beautiful women like Shilpa and Shamita, and yet, he could not produce good results. He cannot seem to make up his mind whether he wants a suspense thriller or a romantic film. The screenplay drags.″
