Upon release, the film received mixed to positive reviews, especially for Arbaaz's portrayal as a possessive and abusive husband. Despite much hype, the film was a box office flop, mainly due to similar films, "Yaarana" and "Agni Sakshi" that were also inspired by the 1991 American psychological thriller film "Sleeping with the Enemy", much like this film, while  only the latter ("Agni Sakshi") was successful.
