Reception
The film was a huge commercial success mainly due to its music (rather than the movie itself) with the showings running to full houses. The audience came to the theaters only to enjoy the songs of the film.
The film was heavily criticized for it's lackluster performances and the undeveloped story. Further criticism was garnered from the weakly written screenplay and the just about average direction.
It is one of the very few bollywood films which was a huge hit not because of the film but because of the film's music.
