Reception edit
Critical reception edit
A reviewer of Loksatta wrote "Abhijit Khandkekar and Prarthana Behere both look cool. Prayer has worked very well. She has shown many shades like hatred, impulse, anger, love, impudence very well".[7] A reviewer of The Times of India wrote "Vikram Gokhale, Shubhangi Latkar, Priyadarshan Jadhav justify their characters. Nilesh Mohrir’s music suits the script. Though the title generates curiosity, the story deflates it!!".[8]
