Reception
Critical reception
Jaya Biswas of the Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and opined "The trouble with the film is that unlike the original, it takes off on a boring note. However, there are quite a few smart lines that elicit a good laugh." Although she praised the peppy music, Dev's acting and the comedy but bemoaned the excessive screen time given to the flashbacks, Dev's diction and a predictable climax.[1]
