Reception

A critic from Cinestaan wrote that "The Gujarati feature will appeal to the older generation who will see themselves in Manu; the emotional family drama is Rawal’s show all the way".^[6] Subhash K.

But then we are supposed to like him for the same qualities which made him despicable in the first place".^[7]
