Release and reception[edit | edit source]
The film was ready for release in February 2008 but was delayed.[5] The Times of India wrote "In this age of networking and MMS, it's a bit hard to swallow that the boy and girl had not swapped pictures. A couple of minuses like that, however, doesn't stop the film from being moderately entertaining".[6] Sify wrote, "The movie has a message in the end, but the manner it is conveyed makes for interesting viewing. A definite change from the usual mindless violence or mushy love stories of recent times".[7]
