The film started out well, but the collection plunged, declaring the film as a flop. One of the reasons as to why the film flopped was the audiences reaction as they felt that Mahesh Bhatt didnt recreate the magic as his previous films. Also, critics panned the new, fresh pair of Jugal Hansraj and Mayuri Kango as they felt that their chemistry wasnt strong and were not able to perform as Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal did in Aashiqui. However, many acknowledge the fact that Jugal Hansrajs and Anupum Khers performance was noteworthy.
