She portrays the firebrand Anuradha with the kind of passion you wouldn't have expected from the heroine who once danced to the tune of Tu cheez badi hai mast."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/feb/07satta.htm|title=A woman never before seen in Bollywood|last=Gumaste|first=Deepa|work=Rediff.com|date=7 February 2003|accessdate=4 May 2016}}</ref> [[Taran Adarsh]] in his review wrote: "Raveena Tandon delivers a bravura performance.
