Reception

A critic from Sify wrote that "The 400-year old Shakespeare`s play Taming of the Shrew still inspires filmmakers and this time three shrews are tamed by their hubbies in Tirumala Tirupati Venkatesa. The first-half is truly hilarious while the second half is stretched a bit too far deserving a trimming". [4] A critic from Full Hyderabad opined that "Since even this tedium is packaged with a comic touch, it is not unbearable either. It is just one of those regular run-of-the-mill comedies that we have seen before". [5] A critic from indiainfo.com wrote that "The only highlight of the movie is Brahmanandam's superb performance".
