Critical reception

Upon the release, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave 3/5 stating "NTR is improving from film to film. To put in a more frank way, people started accepting NTR as his number of films is increasing (remember the old adage - tinaga tinaga vemu teeyanundu)". Telugucinema.com stated "The film is below the expectations in all the senses. Songs in New Zealand are ok. Other songs are not up to the mark".^[4] Andhra Today wrote "The director makes a grand appearance on the celluloid to eulogize and compare it with several previous legends of love such as Devadas-Parvathi, and Laila-Majnu, but the movie is far from living up to them. The story is a drag and can test the patience of the audience. NTR may disappoint his audience, in this second movie. Like most bollywood starlets, Sonali Joshi may turn out to be a one-film wonder. Music by Mani Sarma is not very impressive".^[5] The movie was an average grosser at the box office.
