Critics review :

Bollywood Hungama Critics Taran Adarsh rated the 4 star from 5 star, and writed that “The film is an intelligently woven, slick and smart period thriller with its subject matter as its USP. It’s sure to get listed as one of the most gripping heist dramas based on real life occurrences.”
Anupama Chopra, from Hindustan Times, rated the 3.5 / 5, saying “one of the best films of the year and praising its attention to detail, its character building, the plot’s steady but sure sense of immediacy and urgency, and the elaborate cat-and-mouse chase between the conmen and the police. She criticises the unnecessary addition of the love angle in an otherwise gripping script, along with the unconvincing nature of its climax.”
