Reception

S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald wrote "There is nothing new in the story. The director has taken up a simple story of today’s youth, mixes some action and romance and tries to make it an entertaining film. He focuses on how today’s youth spend time and invite problems. Besides, he also shows that they can also achieve something if they focus on a single goal, that’s all". [10] A critic from Viggy wrote that "On the whole, Yashwanth is not as gripping as one would've expected it to be. Its an absolute letdown but enthralls the frontbenchers!" [11] The film failed at the box-office. [12]
