The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics.

Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3 out of 5 stars. Similarly, Phelian of The Quint rated the film 3/5, and described it as "Lackluster, despite earnest and crucial messaging"

In rating the film 2.5/5, India Today critic Anindita Mukherjee wrote that it "tends to get preachy in parts," but "is a decent weekend watch." In her review for Hindustan Times, Monika Rawal Kukreja wrote, "There are some flaws here and there, but with all the humour and lighter moments, they can be somewhat overlooked." Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express was far more critical in her review. Rating the film 1.5 out of 5 stars, she wrote," Rakul Preet Singh has delivered a perky performance in a film hamstrung by a script that is afraid to fully embrace its message." Soundtrack
