The film released a day after the Lok Sabha elections results were announced. The film received a mixed response from the critics. Raja Sen of Hindustan Times said about the film, “Arjun Kapoor plays it subtle in a well-meaning thriller too restrained to be memorable. The idea at its heart is good but there’s little that leaves an impact.”

The film has been directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, known for delivering successful suspense thrillers such as of No One Killed Jessica, Aamir and Raid. Claiming that the film is inspired from true events, Raj Kumar told Reuters, “I have shot this film all over, starting from Patna to Nepal to Jaipur and Mumbai. These were all locations dictated by the actual story.” The film also boasts of a recreated Vande Mataram anthem, sung by Papon and Altamash Faridi.
