The year may have started on a dull note for Arshad Warsi with "Mr. Joe B Carvalho", his first release of 2014, bombing at the box office, but his "Dedh Ishqiya" is being applauded by people.

Celebrities like Sandhya Mridul and Mini Mathur, who happened to see the film, have appreciated Arshad and Naseeruddin Shah's work in the film, coming out Friday.

"Good morning. Thank you so very much for loving my work in 'Dedh Ishqiya'. I am happy and humbled," Arshad tweeted Thursday.
