Reception
The Times of India said, "The story is based in a village where word spreads about a missile from Korea headed to crash in the area. The inhabitants fear their well-being and thinking it to be their last day alive, each one wants to spend it in the way they want to. However, in trying to explore this central plot, Babo opens up 15 sub-stories and all of them merely scratch the surface. Had it just focused on the geographical divide, the movie would have touched upon the issue of casteism effectively, with the treatment of a dark comedy."
