Production

The technical team of Tagaru and Salaga after being impressed with the results of their previous works and their appreciation joined the crew. [2] They cast Shrestha as the lead actor and Shruthi Patil was paired alongside him. [3]

"Unlike films where the cast usually takes precedence over the technical team, this one will see a set of technicians, who have been around in the industry for more than a decade and have carved a niche for themselves, coming together to back a new director and young actors", said Maasthi who co-wrote the dialogues for the film. [4] Director Suri contributed his part by writing the nameboard and title design for the film. [5]

The film was shot in the Koodalasangama area of Ilakal Ganjihala in Hunagunda taluk of Bagalkote district. [6]

Reception

Harish Basavarajaiah for The Times of India rated 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Director Abhi Basavraj has naturally brought in that rural set-up to theatres." [9]

A Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express rated 2.5 out of 5 and stated "The portrayal of Somu’s journey maintains its realistic tone, though the fault lies in stretching the narrative, Initially, the viewers are presented with a clear image of Somu and his struggles with anger issues, and at one point, you don’t want to know more about it, but this gets extensively explored before introducing significant plot twists at the interval." [10]

A critic of Times Now rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The love story that comes along with a good number by music director Charan Raj is noteworthy." [11]
