Reception
[edit]A critic fromRediff.comwrote that "With shades ofKyun...! Ho Gaya Na(Aishwarya Rai, Vivek Oberoi, Amitabh Bachchan), one wonders why the director made such a film which is not rivetting at all. One can almost predict what happens and the climax is rather hackneyed ".[5]A critic fromIdlebrain.comwrote that "First half of the film is neat. Second half is stuffed with lot of melodrama and it appears boring, at times".[6]
