Reception

A critic from The Hindu wrote that "But in Mandya, he [Om Prakash Rao] staggers continuously and loses grip of the storyline. Thus he remains a stranger to both what he wants to convey and what he conveys". [2] A critic from Rediff.com wrote that the film "fails to generate interest among the viewers because of a weak script". [3] Sify called it "strictly for Darshan fans". [4]
