Reception Debolina Sen of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "The love story between the youngsters hardly takes off and there is no doubt that Akash and Kuhu are overshadowed by Amit and Labanya. The director and scriptwriter could have either fleshed out the characters better or left the story at Amit and Labanya meeting again".
