Release

Reception
editSunayana Suresh of The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "The film right from the beginning shows that it isn't the regular commercial drama, but the narrative does keep one hooked, provided one has the taste for films that aren't regular masala potboilers. One must hand it to dubbing artiste Shashikala, for her voice helps elevate Pooja's performance to another level."[2] A critic from Deccan Herald panned the film for lacking depth and finesse, citing director Aditya Chikkanna's commercial approach. The inclusion of Ukrainian dancer Anna's item number was particularly criticized as frivolous.[3] A critic from Vijaya Karnataka rated the film three out of five stars, praising the lead cast's performances but suggesting that the last two songs could have been cut.[6]
