The film saw Sharmila make her digital debut, and share the screen with Manoj Bajpayee, Amol Palekar, Suraj Sharma, and Simran.

Many viewers found the family drama to be incredibly relatable. One user wrote about how the emotions, feelings and characters felt incredibly real.

Rahul Chitella, who made his directorial debut with the film, was lauded for his work. “@rahulchittella what a stunning debut!
