Negative Reviews
2.0 "Priyandarshan could have done so much better. The whole thing puts us in the mind of that old riddle. What do you call a joke that doesn't work? For this week at least, it goes by the name of Hulchul."
- Full Hyderabad

- ApunKaChoice

- Hindustan Times
1.0 "as a film, is worse than that glue-bowl: equally extraneous and redundant, but much more irritating."
- Rediff
