Reception

edit

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "While Kanniha shines only in a few sequences, Nikhita needs to improve. Rangayana Raghu could have done a better job. Srinivasamurthy is very convincing and Sundararaj excels. V Harikrishna's music and excellent camerawork by M Joshi are the film's highlights".[3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "The climax is how Kumari realises her mistake and join hands with Raj. It is worth watching if you have no other alternative to spend your time. The only saving grace of this film are the songs. Music director Harikirshna tried his best to compose tunes which rise above the movie".[4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Post interval, you will learn why Kumari is a widow with a child even though she is a virgin. Poor handling of the already insipid script makes for the perfect disaster that this movie is. At a time when some filmmakers have become fast enough to remake Tamil and Telugu films in Kannada even before the original is released, wonder why Govindu selected a story that has the inertia of old age".[5]
