Reception
editJeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote, "First half of the film is OK. But the second half is unimaginative and was poorly handled. This is a typical formula film tried to cash in the success of the pair 'Tarun-Richa' of Nuvve Kavali".[5] A critic from Full Hyderabad noted, "There's nothing new in the tale that's visible to the naked eye. It's clearly made to exploit the demand for the pair that would have been created by Nuvve Kavali."[6]
