Anupama Chopra of Film Companion wrote: "The story takes unexpected turns. It hopscotches across the country and touches on myriad subjects, while the film is about the transformative power of love. Aanand and Himanshu celebrate the purity of the emotion and the beauty in being atrangi or eccentric. The ambition is laudable but the result is a bit of a mess."[13]
Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "But the writing — with loads of exposition and heavy with dialogue — strains to make some of these interlocked connections work. Some of the twists... are barely convincing. Twists need a build-up to really work, and the short-film format doesn't give enough room for us to care enough for the characters...As such, the film is an interesting little curio, and a reminder that Chimbudeven always keeps trying to do something different."[citation needed]
