Release and reception

Sunny Mahat of The Annapurna Express wrote, "Now this is a movie you’d want to watch with your female friends, just to see them cringe at the creepy old man trying to find a match for his son".[2] Abhimanyu Dixit of The Kathmandu Post, wrote "But Chamling's [producer] efforts have been wasted because the delivery is lazy. So is the screenplay and dialogue, written by director Bikash Raj Acharya and Samipya Timilsina".[3] Rupak Risal of Moviemanu praised the actors' performance in the film.[4]
