Rao Renuka of Daily News and Analysis offers that the film is a poor depiction of the Cinderella story.
He became a famed supporting actor of Bollywood during the early 1990s and acted in many superhit movies including Aashiqui (1990), Khiladi (1992), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993), Anjaam (1994) and Baadshah (1999).
Mahesh Bhatt, who in the late 1980s turned towards the commercial cinema with some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1990s, like Aashiqui, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Sadak and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, was again involved in a romantic movie whose music was already a big hit, so there were lots of expectations with the movie.
