Reception

A critic from Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five and wrote that "The first half of the film is decent. But the second half is little slow. The climax is weak. The strengths of the film are Hari Krishna's performance, Keeravani music, YVS's picturization of songs and high production values. The weakness is the story, script and slow narration". [4] A critic from Sify wrote that "The film is tailor made for Harikrishna who tries to imitate his father with all those violent dramatic gestures. Simran provides oomph and mid-riff exposure to the hilt. Director Chowdary has squeezed a lot of mass element, which slows the tempo of the film". [5] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Scriptwriter Posani Krishnamurali treads the same old path of rendering the film as a verbal drama with theatrical appeal. The screenplay structure looks as if some preconceived scenes of high-voltage drama are pieced together with an otherwise thin storyline". [2]
