Reception

A critic from Sify wrote that "It is a predictable film with no twists in the climax. Vamsi has tried to recreate the magic of Avunu Valliddharu Ishta Paddaru, but the narration goes awry". [6] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Vamsi - who mastered the art of village comedy with his typical characterization ability - could not succeed in generating the desired result because of the improper screenplay and narration".
