Cast

Abhimanyu Dixit of The Kathmandu Post said the film was sexist, writing, "Even in Bir Bikram 2, both the male leads take sneaky pictures of Barsha Siwakoti's character without her knowledge. Is this acceptable behaviour? In one scene, a character blatantly says "Budi ko fariya ho ra chyatna lai?". How's that not sexist?" Rupak Risal of Moviemanu wrote, "The entire climax could have been shortened to sharpen the final act. Controlled performances from all, however, Buddhi Tamang is overly dramatic at the beginning. His performance is much more convincing in the second half".
Pranesh Gautam, a comedian, produced a review of the film, calling it "unnecessarily loud" and noting that "the story is strikingly similar to the Bollywood hit Sholay, and the film has nothing new to offer". He was arrested and detained for nine days after a first information report was filed by the director, Milan Chams, who accused Gautam of "defamation, libel, expressing sexist, racial remarks through social media while reviewing the movie" and of cyber crime. Gautam was arrested under the Cyber Crime Act. This caused an outcry among Nepali youths. Gautam was released after nine days in jail.
