Reception

Critical response

India Today noted its poor makeup and VFX and stated that ''"There should have been an eerie aura attached to the plot, but honestly, the fight scenes as well as the shapeshifting scenes gave us the laughs, thanks to poor VFX."'' but also noted that ''"If there was someone who actually went beyond and gave a great performance, it was Karan Kundrra. He was simply realistic and we loved watching him."''
Mid-day - Gashmeer Mahajani and Reem Sameer Sheikh make an honest effort to elevate the script with their performances; While Mahajani doesn’t manage to ace the semi-transformation (where only their eyes and facial expressions change), he is spot-on in the emotional ''"scenes"''
