Reception

Critical response

GS Kumar of The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Vijay’s performance may impress only his fans. Aishwarya, who makes her presence felt as a romantic interest in a sub-plot in the movie, is better than Vrinda Pavana. Rangayana Raghu’s comic act brings some liveliness. Deepa, the dubbing artiste, outshines all with a captivating performance. Music by Arjun Janya is good." [2] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Vijay's stunt sequences are a saving grace. The cinematography and art work are other aspects of the film that rise above the average." [3]
