The film has completed 25 days in the theatres, and the film is inching closer to Rs 150 crore at the worldwide box office collection, according to a report by Sacnilk. TOI ranked the film 3.5 out of 5, and the review reads, “This is not a film with layered meanings or profound storytelling. Its strength lies in its simplicity. The humour is organic and gentle, earning warm-hearted laughs from the audience. The evolution of the story is clear to see—the small moments that push the narrative forward, the subtle changes in the characters, and the careful handling of a subject that could easily have invited criticism. The film feels well thought out.”
