He has banked on the emotions, a bit of comedy, good music and cinematography to invite the audience to the theatres".[4] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Mahesh should be complimented for making a clean and likeable film at a time when the Kannada film industry is full of gore and gangsters".[5]
