Critical response

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film tries to bring to light not just the main topic of premature transfers, but also the plight of poor farmers who lose their land to development projects, the corruption prevalent in the system and the many layers of the same. The film has many topics being covered, and it seems at times as the scriptwriters have bitten more than they can chew, but eventually, the film does end up being an earnest attempt. Good casting is one of the highlights. Shwetha Srivatsav leads the brigade with a solid performance. Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Pramod Shetty, Prakash Belawadi, Vishal Hegde, Ashwin Hassan and Sumalatha Ambareesh do justice to their casting". [8]
