Boxofficeindia.com reported, “The biggest surprise for the film is West Bengal as this circuit is not keen on comedies and Kartik Aaryan films have also done less here but this film is very strong maybe due to the horror factor and native characters and language used in the film.”
On Sunday, Kartik visited Gaiety cinemas in Mumbai to watch his film but found the show to be housefull. He shared his happiness on Instagram and said that he failed to get a ticket for himself. The film received positive to mixed reviews and went on to garner a good response in theatres.
