Manoj wrote in his review, “It takes a seasoned and indisputable talent like Mohanlal to even muster some reactions and perform with a straight face in the presence of Arbaaz Khan. Also, I can’t imagine the plight of the artist who dubbed for Arbaaz. It must have been so dispiriting. What was the need to import an actor from Bollywood, only to put him through such an embarrassment? And what was the need for Siddique to make this movie at all?”
