The audience was pleasantly surprised at the duration of movie— 1 hour 47 minutes. But the lack of songs in the thriller did not sit with the public well. Performances of all the actors— Sonakshi Sinhaand Sidharth Malhotra were applauded. But Akshaye Khanna’s portrayal of a driven investigating officer stole the show.

Overall the response to the movie has been good as the occupancy for the morning shows has been 10%-15%. It remains to be seen if the movie picks up pace during the weekend.​
