Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 stars out 5, writing ″Lucky Ali enacts his part with utmost ease and is a complete natural. Camera friendly and confident, he provides ample evidence that a singer can make a good actor as well. Gauri Karnik looks ordinary, but is a bundle of talent. Simone Singh is first-rate. Achint Kaur and Divya Dutta lend adequate support. On the whole, SUR holds appeal for a select few in metros only.
