Reception[edit]
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "The film falls in the genre of youth films now in vogue, with weird themes revolving around inconsequential interpretations of love".[3] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film two-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "The film story is very short. Screenplay is shabby. This film's duration is just 2 hours. Strength of the film is Vandemataram's music and songs. Weakness is screenplay".[1]
