Critical response
A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express wrote "Among the nine songs in the film, the only song that is worth a watch is the one shot underwater. Otherwise, the movie  is a soulless, repetitive drama, portrayed by dim-witted young boys and girls. The Verdict: If you want to enjoy the memories of your teenage years". B. S. Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Kishan, however, shines in editing, displaying a cool professional hand. Makesh and Rahul’s underwater cinematography is a treat to watch; even above water is just fine except when the camera seems to be unnecessarily restless, but that’s teen angst for you! Mass Mada’s action choreography doesn’t go overboard. Obvious drawbacks: too many songs to pay attention to and the director’s very loud background score". A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "After Care of Footpath, Kishan looks matured in acting and impresses as a teenager. Slumdog Millionaire fame Tanvi, Apoorva and Priya are lively. Music director Siddarth Vipin has come out with some foot-tapping energetic numbers. Cinematography by Magesh Dev is excellent". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Teenage is in a genre that is hardly touched in our films. However, this is the age group that forms a huge bulk of the film audience. Teenage shows how film makers could cater to this segment in times to come. The film is worth a visit to the theatre for its colourful imagery and freshness of intentions".
