Reception

edit

Griddaluru Gopalrao of Zamin Ryot wrote that "Director Siva Nageswara Rao has used crime investigations, funeral processions, tea parties and conferences in the story to create humor. The film is full of humor and is full of fun (the audience's hearts are full of laughter".[1] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film 2+34 out of 5 and wrote that "The USP of this film is comedy. As the story is simple, this film would have worked well if it is taken an hour to narrate. By adding five songs to the wafer-thin story and dragging the story in the second half, the director made this film a little insipid".[2]
