Reception

Vanaja of Telugucinema.com reviewed the film as a disappointing attempt by Rajasekhar, citing an unimpressive storyline, flat screenplay, and lacklustre performances, despite its family feud backdrop and multiple roles played by the actor. [1] The Hindu wrote "Playing two prime roles, Rajasekhar is there all over the film. As Bharartasimha Reddy, a target of ridicule, he looks dull and clumsy. Gazala teams with Raja, and though attractive fails to make an impact. The characters played by Meena and Ravali have no sense at all. Music by S.A. Rajkumar is average". [2] Sify wrote "Rajasekhar looks overage to play the son?s role. The film lacks a strong narrative and Meena who appears in his mother?s role looks unconvincing! In the second half the film looks like a tearjerker of the 60?s. The story is so weak that the film falters in the first half itself. It is definitely one of the most boring films of the year". [3] Idlebrain wrote "Story of this film is an age old one. Screenplay adapted for this film stresses more on mass treatment and over dose of sentiment than sensible narration. Direction of the film is average". [4] Full Hyderabad wrote "The director should get a crash course in the Reddy genre of movies. He should realize that lack of a story cannot be compensated by loads of melodrama". [5]
