Similarly, Amendra Pokhrel from MyRepublica also praised Saugat Malla and Reecha Sharma and criticised other actors for not being "able to project the madness and bottled-up frustration of desperate youths who are willing to rob a bank".[5] He however, praised the director Nischal Basnet and overall expressed the film as "an enjoyable flick" different from other regular Nepali films.
