Review

In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, "On the acting front, the man of action persona stalks Sunny Deol all through the film but to his credit the lead actor makes the most of the film's quieter moments and emotive scenes to add a kind of weight that is far more powerful than his fists of fury.

"Preity Zinta, providing an ideal foil, also does her bit to enhance a few of the crucial turning points.

"Shabana Azmi delivers an absolute tour de force. She does in Batwara 1947 what Naseeruddin Shah did in Main Vaapas Aaunga. She lends it the sort of depth and gravitas that instantly elevate the entire enterprise."
