Release and reception

A critic from Chitraloka.com gave a favourable review and opined that "Director Singeetham Srinivasarao has shown his diligence and proves that comedy is his hot favorite" and stated that "Jaggesh's effort and his dialogue delivery is a treat to watch". [11] A critic from Viggy opined that "Jaggesh as Doddamma has done an excellent job" and called the film "A sheer pleasure for Jaggesh fans". [12] Srikanth of Deccan Herald noted that the film was inspired from characters in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and Avvai Shanmugi (1996), "but with a Jaggesh punch." However, he felt that "Jaggesh has nothing new to offer to his fans except for his new makeup and 'get-up'. However, there are more laughs in the film that he is known to give the audience and his fans. Laila Patel has nothing much to do. Shakti Kapoor disappoints and so is Tennis Krishna". [3]

Box office

Despite the positive reviews and a good run at the box office, the film was a box office failure and lost seventy five lakhs due to the film's high budget. [7] [8] Jaggesh had to sell his house to compensate for the loss. [13] [14] Jaggesh cites the reason for the film's failure is that the film released at the "wrong time". [6] Despite the film's failure, Jaggesh garnered appreciation for his role. [15]
