Box office

The film did not do well at the box office largely due to lack of publicity and no promotions for the music. The timing of the theatrical release was at the time of Muharram and Shravan, a time of religious austerity for the Indian audience where no entertainment is encouraged. The film also failed to garner immediate critical acclaim though reports from the audience was positive with unofficial blogs being written on the movie as the most underrated gem of the year and fair amount of positive viewer comments.
