Reception
[edit]Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India opined that "On the whole, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that 2015 has started on a high note with the first two releases pulling crowd to theatres and living up to the expectations. We hope the trend continues and we have more gems to watch on the silver screen."[4] Soumitra Pote, writing for the Maharashtra Times, wrote that "The most important thing is the artist. All the artists worked hard. Overall, this movie is made using all kinds of spices. Sufficient expenditure has been made for this. He dyes. But there is not much innovation in it. As Mahashi puts it, when you walk out of the theater, you feel like you have seen per worldliness"[5] Loksatta wrote "All the artists have portrayed their personalities in a good way. Good acting is the strength of this film."[6]
