"Nikhil in fact delivers a heartbreaking performance as a simpleton who flips for the siren and is willing to go to any lengths to get her. At times his baba-in-the-woods act reminded one of Raj Kapoor in "Sri 420". Here is an actor, who has repeatedly proved himself to be better than many so-called stars in Bollywood. Wonder what keeps him from getting there," said critic Subhash K Jha.
Ram Kamal Mukherjee, editor at Stardust also commented 'Go watch the film for Nikhil Dwivedi and Richa Chadda, they share a fab chemistry.'
Here's what Nikhil had to say on this being his 'comeback', "I hadn't gone anywhere, so I don't see this as my second innings. After my initial films didn't succeed, I've been extra choosy. I didn't get offered anything substantial in terms of scripts. When this script came, I grabbed it. And, I'm very heartened by the response to the promos and music. I'm hoping that converts into box office numbers."
