Archika Khurana of Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated, “After ‘State of Siege: 26/11’, this 112-minutes combat drama is a fitting tribute to our NSG soldiers. This dramatized retelling may bring up unpleasant memories for some, but it is well worth watching.” Arushi Jain of The Indian Express gave the film a mostly positive review and stated, “Led by Akshaye Khanna, this film is for everyone who likes to see a cat-and-mouse chase between ghastly, heavily armed men and brave, ‘can do anything for the nation’ soldiers.” Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and stated, “Akshaye Khanna is doubtless a talented actor. One sees flashes of his class all through the film. But he is trapped in a script that has little room for vivid character development.” Soumya Srivastava of The Hindustan Times gave the film a mixed review and stated, “The 2002 attack was a gruesome blot on the history of our country. 30 lives were lost. No Bollywood masala film should be allowed to say it was too little, too bland.”
