Reception

Mihir Bhanage from The Times of India stated "There are five Marathi films hitting the screens this week so if this one has to work, it will only be possible through Swwapnil and Sachit’s fan-following". [5] Saumitra Pote from Maharashtra Times opined, "Overall it is a complete package of entertainment. The issue of direction remained. When such an experienced director comes to Marathi, the subject matter is expected to be new". [6] Mahesh Bhardapurkar from Sakaal Times wrote "Friends, he struggles playing a rich brat Kolhapuri guy with the particular twang. Debutant Gauri too has screen presence and Sagar Karande shines in his cameo role. All in all, this Marathi film with Southern flavour is worth a watch". [7]
