Reception
BookMyShow reviewed the film and wrote, "Catch the film in your nearest theatre to entertain yourself with a two-hour parody of the 90s, with signature Govinda dance moves and hilarious dialogues and action. Take along your friends to experience a laugh riot.[8] However The Times of India gave it 1.5 stars saying "Unfortunately, besides the actor's trademark dance moves, there is nothing worth watching here. The 'hero' might just need to make another comeback soon and hopefully a more 'relevant' one this time."[9]
