Reception

A critic from Sakshi rated the film 2 3⁄4 out of 5 and wrote that "this is director Shankar's first film. He succeeded in increasing the curiosity of the audience without revealing the twists till the climax. Background music by Paul Praveen is a plus for the movie. Rakesh Goud's camera work is good. The production values are below par for the film". ^[2] A critic from Zee News gave the film the same rating and wrote that "director Shankar is a newbie, but many scenes have been shot like an experienced director. The film would have been on a different level if the screenplay had been taken care of". ^[3]
