Critical response

[edit | edit source]

Mayank Shekhar from Hindustan Times gave the film three stars out of five, writing, "This one manages to for most of the while. A sense of fun is never lost. It’s the actors, no doubt, who make the ridiculous believable. Hence, you truly enjoy this ride for most of the part. Which is saying a lot."[2] Conversely, Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave the film 2 stars out of 5, noting that while it had an attention-grabbing premise and some truly wonderful scenes, the writing lacked the energy and dynamism to keep the viewer hooked, and another reason the film stumbled was the inclusion of songs in the narrative, barring Hawa Hawa.[3] Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express gave the film one star out of five, writing, "What we get is capable actors floundering, and a film that grows ever more incoherent and tedious as it lurches along among fellows pretending to be cops, bent policemen, mobsters hiding out in seedy hotel rooms, guns going rat-a-tat."[4]
