Critical response
In a mixed review The Times of India rated the movie 2.5 stars out of five, writing that while "the film began on a right note" as it traced "the world of oddball Shambhu", it changes tracks and that "Shambhu's extended encounters with Vitthal, the bustee kid" end up derailing the plot.[2]
