Reception

A critic from Online Bangalore wrote that "This movie can be fairly termed to a well-made movie. There is a proper balance of everything in this movie".^[5] A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "This aunty is beauty, fatty, with morality, sanctity, variety and modernity. The uncles would definitely find it uncomfortable when they come and watch this aunty. This is not in a bad taste. Such is her velocity and activity".^[6]
