Reception
A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Comedy is EVV's forte and he depends heavily on it to push the film forward. He packs in a punch with one-liners that are quite delightful, but as is his wont, he is unable to do away with the double entendres here and there". A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that " we basically have a very ho-hum movie, too long and too melodramatic, not funny enough, and a waste of the talents of Kamalini Mukherjee especially and Naresh to a lesser extent". A critic from Nowrunning rated the film 1 $1⁄2$ out of 5 and wrote that "Hope EVV works hard on his next project and Allari Naresh to improve his acting skills".
