Release
[edit | edit source]The film opened on 30 March 2007 to negative reviews from critics. Reviewer Raja Sen from Rediff.com noted "there's precious little to watch in this haphazardly put together tale of predictable pitfalls" and that "the characters are barely written, and coupled with a set of superlatively poor actors, this is a tiresome watch."[6] Another critic from the Hindustan Times noted that the film "leaves you with a severe case of shivers, shudders and frights."[7] Another critic Rajeev Masand wrote "it’s a mangled mess of a film that can really come of only one good use — therapists could use it as a test of patience for people working on their anger management."[8]
