Reception[edit]
Hiren Kotwani of The Times of India gave the film 2 out of 5, writing ″At the end of it, Aafat-e-Ishq doesn't live up to the expectations as a remake of the original Hungarian movie that won several awards at various film festivals.″[9] Chirantana Bhatt of Gujarati Mid Day wrote ″It is imperative to talk about how magic realism has been added to the extent and how the presence of art is treated in the direction, cinematography, set-up and other designing of this film. This is an attempt to explore the different ways in which art can be present on the cinema screen.″[10]
