Cast

Production

edit

The film notably featured forty-five women aged five to sixty in supporting roles.[1] This is Bhavana Rao's second film after Gaalipata (2008).[4][5] The film gained pre-release buzz when Komal dressed as an ardhanarishvara (Shiva half-male and half-female) in posters. According to the director, he did so because his character understands women more and more as the film progresses.[6][7]

Soundtrack

edit

The music was composed by Avinash-Vishwajeeth.

Reception

edit

A critic from DNA wrote that "Komal is entertaining and manages to carry the film on his shoulders. The many women in the film have bit roles, but each of them impresses, be it Bhavana as the wife, Mayuri as the boss, or Parvathy as the girlfriend".[8] A critic from IANS gave the film a fraction of 2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "It is a Komal's film all the way as he tries to infuse laughs in every moment of the film. He once again proves his exceptional talent in essaying comedy oriented roles".[9]
