As part of film's promotions, on Kannada Rajyotsava day, producer Mohan "arranged a rally with 45 bikers" who took part with Kannada flag followed by four Matadors with huge cutouts of the film spotting the protagonist's look from the film and "visited all major areas of Bangalore to promote the film through interactive questions and quiz to people of all these locations from morning till evening and giving away Rowdy Aliya film cassettes and T-shirts to the winners". [3]

Reception

Chitraloka called it "worth your money". [4] Sify wrote "The film is noted for the performance of Shivraj Kumar - Priyanka- Chaya - Jaimala. Lavish production values and good songs make the film worth watching". [5]
