Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave this film a rating of two out of five and opined that "The first half of the film is boring. Second half of the film is slightly better. The best things about this film are songs and photography. This film suffers from bad editing and slow screenplay". A critic from Sify gave the film a verdict of "Missable" and said that "The emotional scenes are a let down due to the lack of story. The only saving grace of this insipid film is the music of R.P. Patnaik and the camera of Soman". Mithun Verma from Full Hyderabad criticised the film.

Although the film was a box office failure, Raja credits this film with giving him a wider reach.
