Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film 3.25/5 and wrote, "The positive points of the film are Puri Jagan's story, screenplay, comedy and music. The negative point is dubbing of the hero and lack of love episodes (being a film that is titled as 143 (I love you)". [3] A critic from Sify wrote, "On the whole the film will disappoint you". [4]
