Reception

A critic from Sify wrote, "This campus love story that peters out to be an action film in the second half is very similar to Junior NTR’s Student No. 1 especially when the hero’s mother encourages her son to fight and win back the girl. Director Mallikharjuna - a protégé of Puri Jagannadh has done his homework well and his idea seems to give hero Kalyan Ram a larger-than-life image". [5]
