Reception[edit]
A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Savi works due to the plot, performances and an engaging second half."[2]
Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2/5 stars and points "Divya Khossla does not have the magnetism to carry a film by herself. If it weren't for Anil Kapoor playing his part with far more gusto than required, Savi would have been tough to sit through."[10]
