Reception

Behindwoods wrote "In a nutshell, the film is a sad and tragic one and has wailing sequences in regular intervals." Times of India wrote "Though the movie is didactic in conception, the approach Jeevan employs is such that these ideas merge well with the plot. But the slow pace prevents the movie from being an engrossing watch." Moviecrow stated that film "neither entertains nor engages."
