Reception
editA critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "The narration is gripping, the chase leaves thriller buffs panting for more, the heroine gets to 'act', but pray, where is the story?"[2] A critic from Rediff.com said that "Minchina Ota, despite competent performances from Vijaya Raghavendra and his brother Sree Murali, tests your patience".[3]
