The Kapil Sharma film has impressed critics despite its modest collection. Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV said, “The male protagonist Manas Mahto (played by Kapil Sharma, which one would hardly believe was made for him), is a food delivery boy who is on the verge of losing his job as a factory floor supervisor.” His soul-crushing routine hinges on numbers, time and ratings, as Manas laments, has made him a machine.”
Speaking about his character, Kapil Sharma said that he connected deeply with Manas Mahto. He said: “I used to work at Coca-Cola. When we all come to Mumbai for the first time, we do odd jobs here and there. The product was transported in trucks. There were no apps then. But, when Nandita ma’am came up to me and told me about the hardships faced by the delivery men, I could relate to the story to a great extent.”
The film, which also stars Shahana Goswami, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, Busan International Film Festival and International Film Festival of Kerala before its theatrical release.
