Audience reactions, however, have been mixed. While many praised Fawad and Mahira’s performances and professionalism, others criticised the film’s pacing, script, and narrative, stating it relied heavily on star power rather than a strong storyline.

Conversely, critics felt the chemistry between the leads fell short of the magic seen in Humsafar, calling parts of the film directionless and emotionally disconnected, leaving some scenes unconvincing despite the actors’ efforts.
