Reception

edit

Viggy wrote "Looks like director was least bothered to polish the movie with contemporary touch; he followed the same equation that was used twenty years back!"[4] Deccan Herald wrote "Saiprakash has mixed romance, action, silly comedy and sentiments and all that go into making an out and out commercial film . It is like ‘old wine in a new bottle’".[5] Indiainfo wrote "The film is in a village backdrop. But at times the director has mixed village and city. Both the lead hero's look as if they have come from the city. Heroines are very much village belle's and things look confusing here. Editing is not so pleasing. Cinematography is okay. Music is good. Two songs are hummable. Show is worth the ticket money."[6]
