Reception
A critic for Moving Picture World wrote, "It will be a good feature picture although the story is not very vital. The photographs are beautiful." A critic for The Cinema described it as "quite out of the ordinary, considering that it has strong romantic and poetic tendencies. It is an attempt to translate poetry into cinematography. Both the acting and the magnificent natural setting convey to the observer a vivid picture of the romance of the red man." They concluded that it is "altogether a remarkable film and a distinct improvement on previous Indian drama."
