Reception

Indiainfo wrote "Producer Rockline Venkatesh has fumbled by choosing a poor story line for the film, a remake of the tamil film Gokulathil Seethai. Director Rajendra Babu failed to live up to the expectations of the audience. Moreover, Shivrajkumar fans are not happy to see their hero addicted to wine and women". [3] The film failed at the box-office. Rajendra Babu admitted he understood the flaws of this film and considered it as black mark in his career. [5]
