Reception

GS Kumar of The Times of India rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "While the first half is brimming with energy — be it sequences of an 'antakshari competition, cricket match or college life — the second half aptly captures the plight of the pining lovers, tugging at your heartstrings". [7] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "While the first half sustains interest with some innovative scenes, the second half drags a bit as the story loses way for a while before recovering towards a rather tepid and predictable end". [8]
