[3] The film's release was halted for ten years due to production related issues and was Akhtar's first acting role.
Isha Arora of TIMC giving seven stars out of ten to the film said, "Surapur's directorial is a well-thought and shot movie and the brilliant performances by the two lead actors will win everyone's heart.
Had the makers worked on the screenplay and made it a tad more complex, it would have been a great film on how, people from different classes, connect with each other and posed bigger questions on mortality and the nature of death.
