Film journal Screen praised the performances, but further wrote, Chopra makes a sincere effort in his latest film Mission Kashmir to bring to the fore, the turmoil in the valley. But one feels disappointed, all the same, that there is very little of Kashmiriyat in the story, which is more of a personal conflict between the victim of a police shootout and a police officer.The soundtrack of the film contains seven songs. The music is conducted by the awardwinning trio ShankarEhsaanLoy, performing separately. Ehsaan Noorani composed three songs, while Shankar Mahadevan and Loy Mendonsa composed two songs each. ........
