Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "It’s a yawn fest, watch it only if you are in the mood to well, doze". [4] A critic from India Herald wrote that "It has been a while since Chenna made a film in Telugu and it is obvious that he underestimates the viewer’s here. It is a simple story that unveils at a leisurely pace and often, in a disturbingly and predictable way". [5]
