The story of the film is not enriching. Some of the characters in the film come and go without any background or explanation. The film was shot in 2013, ever since then, Pankaj Tripathi and Nawazuddin Siddiqui have done some exceedingly well films and series. This movie does not come at par with their performances in recent years.

The film may not have one of the gripping storylines but it is sure to give a different cinematic experience. The movie can be watched to encourage and support indie movies. Nawazuddin and Pankaj Tripathi are delightful to watch but fans of the actors should not go expecting too much from them. All in all, the 2 hours long movie can be watched on a weekend.
