of India gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing "The film has a positive message: heroes can actually have a positive effect on a fan's life. And the director tries hard to give the story a twist in the end. Even some of the performances are lively and watchable, specially Sharat Saxena as the village drunk. Bobby too seems somewhat inspired by the novelty of the script. But all said and done, the film ends up as a docu-drama on literacy. Where's the entertainment quotient? Khalid Mohammed writing for the Hindustan Times gave the film 2 stars, writing "Bottomline: this odd enterprise is neither a children's film nor an entertainer for spectators of all ages. It's not worth losing your pressure cooker for its bizarre Booker." Aprajita Anil of The Indian Express gave the film 2 stars, writing "Director Sameer Karnik deserves a pat on his back for more than one reason. First, for growing out of his no-sense approach that was glaring in his directorial debut, Kyon Ho Gaya Na. And second, for making such a noble effort to churn out a soothingly different script. But not all goes well. At least not for too long."
