Such humaneness. I can't explain what watching this single scene did to me. I cried like a baby after watching it. It's always lovely to see wonderful people coming together for a film but this time it's personal. My mother made an appearance for one scene and moved me to tears."

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film a 2.5 star rating and he wrote: "The two actors lend an edge to this feminist drama by etching out characters that are absolutely believable."
