Reviewing the movie, Sajesh Mohan of wrote, “embarking on a journey to Khardung La on Royal Enfield Bullets is a promise of adventure in itself. Yet, director Tarun Dudeja, in his debut film, takes it a step further by forming an all-women biker gang. This ride turns into an unforgettable pilgrimage with the charming and evergreen as Mahi, as Uzma, as Sky, and as Manjari. Tarun, collaborating with co-writer Parijat Joshi, assembles this group of riders from the bustling streets of Delhi. It’s a world where the trials and tribulations of Mahi, Uzma, Sky, and Manjari all converge on a single theme—the experience of being women in a prejudiced and predatory patriarchal society.” A critic from rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote ” is a well-intentioned genuine effort laced with some fine performances by the leading ladies.
