Reception

edit

A critic from Sify opined that "The script and presentation are weak and even the music of Koti is disappointing. Aryan Rajesh needs to brush up his acting and to concentrate on his dancing as his movements lack grace. Nikhita looks glamorous in those skimpy clothes and has the potential to go places".[5] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Over all it's an average film. You can watch it once at your leisure".[6] Kiran Nadella of Full Hyderabad gave the film a negative review and said that "Because every single scene save for some good sceneries will urge you to slide off your chair and smash your skull into the floor, and I bet you will enjoy it better that way".[7]
