Reception

edit

Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle rated the film 3 stars of 5, and praised the performances of the cast. "Tharun Bhascker steals the acting honours [...] Abhinav Gomatam does a fantastic job and is on par with Tharun Bhascker".[2] The Hindu critic Y. Sunitha Cowdhary opined that though the film had situational humour and interesting dialogues, it is only entertaining in parts.[3]

A reviewer from News18 India called the film, "Smartest Black Comedy of the Year". The reviewer rated the film 3.5/5 and stated: "There is a sneakingly sinuous feel of a Guy Ritchie crime thriller in this Telugu gamechanger of a film. Except that Ritchie's characters are more laconic."[4]
