Reception
Udita Jhujhunwala of Firstpost opined that "It manages to capture the reality of Sikkim realistically, but the director is not able to convincingly weave together all parts of the story". Suparna Thombare of Cinestaan said that "The eerie winter gloom, used predominantly in place of the well-known gorgeous beauty of the Himalayas, assumes the role of central character and sets up the story brilliantly".
