Sharad Kelkar bhau you are (green heart emojis)” For the director, Riteish added, “Tushar Hiranandani my friend – you have made an amazing film... take a bow!!” He signed off by wishing luck to the producers and wrote, “Bhushan Kumar, Nidhi Parmar wishing you stupendous success at the box office.”
In her review, Genelia D'Souza called Srikanth “a film which is all heart.” She wrote, “I absolutely loved watching it…It makes you laugh, makes you cry, and most importantly makes you feel good at the end of the film…Well Done Tushar Hiranandani, Nidhi Parmar. Rajkummar Rao you were phenomenal – it's pure joy to see you in every role you take up. Alaya F you were so honest it's refreshing to see you on screen, Sharad Kelkar you were exceptional – loved you in it, and last but not the least –my most favourite Jyotika, how do you do this? You are just special as an actor and more so as a person…please please do more films. We need to see more often.”
