Reception

Sridevi S. of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While Abhilash Dalapathi’s performance and the film’s real-life connections keep it engaging, the disjointed narrative, weak supporting performances, and technical shortcomings hold it back. It’s a film that could have been powerful but ultimately doesn’t come together as well as it should."[3] Varun Keval of The Hans India wrote, "One downside of the movie is its length. A trim of 10 to 15 minutes could have made it more engaging."[4]

A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express wrote, "Despite its many flaws, the film is commendable for handling oft-overlooked themes in a familiar setting revolving around relatable characters".[5] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror wrote, "The drawback of the movie is its runtime. Had the director reduced the runtime by 10 to 15 minutes, the movie would have been a good entertainer."[6]
