Reception

While criticising the costumes as "over-the-top attire" and the set decor as "tacky", a 2016 review in The Hindu praised the performances by Feroz Khan and Rekha and the screenplay by Jayant Dharmadhikari. The review also described the dialogue as "crisp" and the action sequences "riveting", particularly when the lead character played by Khan chases a train on horseback and runs across the entire train.
