Mixed audience reviews
The film has received mixed feedback from viewers.

So when the film turns out to be a competently paced, genuinely watchable masala entertainer, credit where it’s due. Don’t walk in expecting a precision-engineered thriller. It’s good in the way a buffet is good: you don’t remember individual dishes, but you left full and didn’t complain.“Some audiences appreciated the cast and certain action sequences, while others found the screenplay crowded with too many sub-plots and predictable twists.
