Reception
Critical reception
Komal Nahta of Koimoi gave it half out of five stars and wrote in his review – "On the whole, Yeh Dooriyan is a poor fare which will meet with a disastrous fate at the box-office windows". Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India gave it 2 out of 5 stars and wrote – "Deepshikha, on her part, does put in a restrained act as the suffering heroine, but can't say the same for the male acts. The men in the film are either hysterical (husband) or plastic (boyfriend) and the girlie gang (Delnaaz and Chitrashi) are borderline bimbettes". Taran Adarsh gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5, but called it "a decent attempt".
