Hood praised the film as technically "superb", appreciating "Nihalani's genius for ensuring a relationship between actor and camera that is rarely predictable and never static" as well as his "fastidious concern for detail".

According to Wood, "Particularly memorable in this film is the consistency of the direction over the remarkably realistic acting, especially in the brilliant performances of the two women, Dimple Kapadia as Sandhya and Mita Vasisht as Prabha".
