Koimoi found the comedy boring and badly written, with stale dialogue and only a couple of jokes that work. Arshad Warsi was among the few bright spots.

BollywoodLife strongly disliked the film, saying audiences are more likely to laugh at it than with it. It saw little successful comedy in the messy story.

Times of India found a few laughs and decent action, but said the weak script, loud comedy and lack of a clear story stop the large cast from making the film work.
