A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Vijaya Raghavendra, Yash, Pavan and Raghuraj are brilliant while Pooja Gandhi brings alive her character. Sumitra, Srinivasamurthy and Ravi Kale do justice to their roles. Nakshathra deserved a better role. While Sathya Hegde's camerawork is superb, Mano Murthy's music is all right". [4] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "The theme of filial love, in that sense, has been given mature treatment. Likewise, the costume design deserves mention for being meticulous and not spoiling the continuity of each character. Choreography is good too - Ragini is stylish, not giving enough reason to support the ‘item number’ controversy. Time to head to Gokula now". [5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "This is a film with a very good intention falling short for in utilising the screenplay to the maximum. One example is where the old man played by Srinivas Murthy is said to have saved his home once by sitting on a protest demonstration in front of the Vidhana Soudha. This incident is just a dialogue in the film instead of a good scene. Many characters do not reveal what they really are due to such cost-saving measures at the wrong places". [6]
