Zinnia Ray Chaudhuri from Daily News and Analysis also gave only 0.5/5 stars. She wrote that the movie is bad throughout and leaves the audience emotionally scarred. According to her, Jatin has no acting skills. Only Akansha was able to leave an impact. She wrote,"The dialogues and the dialogue delivery, both, are laughable and can be best described as cheesy". She also criticized cinematography and dubbing.

Prateeksha Khot from BOLLYSPICE gave only 0.5/5 stars. She wrote,"The acting is amateurish, cinematography by M.A. Shaikh is grainy and sloppy, Rajesh Kanchi’s editing is so-so and choreography by Tejas Dattani, Reshma Khan, Sagar-Bape and Rajiv are strictly average." According to her, the script is silly, music decent and dialogues are just ordinary. She praised Akansha in her minuscule role and mentioned Pummy's portrayal of a loving mother outstanding.

Mansha Rastogi from Nowrunning.com gave only 0.5/5 stars. She wrote,"Having a half-cooked plot replete with non-actors and no graph whatsoever, Rakesh turns YSP from a bad to a worse and intolerable product." She heavily criticized the performance of the lead actor and other side actors. According to her, even in the shooting style and the narrative, there appears no aesthetics. She also condemned the music and background score.

Rohit Vats from ibnlive also had apprehensions and he was not impressed with the basic plot line and acting performances. Even the album seemed to be a half-hearted effort.
