S. N. Deepak of ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' felt the film had "all essential ingredients like sentiments, action, romance and comedy" to make it "appealing." He added, "Cinematography is good. Dialogues, written by S Narayan, are catchy." Of the acting performances, he wrote, "Meera Jasmine, as an innocent Telugu speaking girl, has put in a good effort. Devaraj and Roja, as parents, suit their roles well", and praise the music on the film.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Deepak |first1=S.
