Reception



Critic Response

Nandini Ramnath from 'Scroll.in' gave a positive review to the film writing, "Neelay Mehendale's delicate characterisation of Tanay and Pr3ateik Babbar's overt hunkiness create the film's most memorable moments, which have the vividness of primary colours and the erotic flush of first love." 'Deccan Herald' gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote,"The movie has heartwarming Hindi poetry catering to various shades of emotions. The entire movie is a slow, lyrical and heartbreaking journey blended with literature, poetry, music and art. Primary hues have been effectively used to bring out emotions.
