It stars Sandhya Mridul, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Sarah-Jane Dias, Anushka Manchanda, Amrit Maghera, Rajshri Deshpande, and Pavleen Gujral with Adil Hussain.

Variety's Jay Weissberg criticized the director Pan Nalin for "overload[ing] his jaunty wagon with weighty of-the-moment topics that it splinters into dozens of pieces".
