"Outlook" magazine's Namrata Joshi, who rated the film one star, declared it as "avoidable"; she was critical of Roshan, who she deemed "makes a poor parody of himself". Sukanya Verma opined, "First-time director Kohli is impressive. He keeps a tight grip of the plot and displays a keen attention to screenplay. Every character in the film is well defined and sound. The film moves at a brisk pace and the audience is not left to pinpoint loopholes." Madhureeta Mukherjee of "The Times of India" claimed that Mukerji "scores almost full marks for her heart-rending performance", with "Empire" Omar Ahmed appreciated her for "save" the film. Khalid Mohammed observed of Kapoor: "Of the cast, is reliably spry and saucy but should take care not to repeat her hoity-toity act if she is to escape typecasting." S. Ramachandran from "Mid Day" wrote that Roshan had delivered "a fabulous performance", and described his part as "an emotion-powered role from Rani Mukherjee and a sporadically-intense act from Kareena Kapoor". "Stardust" hailed, "Though Kunal has handled some scenes with sensitivity and maturity he fails in many others, which gives the feeling of "déjà vu"."
