Reception

B. Anuradha from Webindia123 opined that "His [R. V. Suresh's] disjointed and repetitive screenplay dilutes the interesting point, over which he perhaps wanted to provoke a discussion" but praised Srikanth's performance.^[7][8] Kishore from Nowrunning opined that "The plot is good. But possessiveness of Srikanth could have been shown more vividly. There are a few loose ends like Vadde Naveen getting away from an accident scratch free. He [sic] climax could have been made more interesting".^[9]
