Reception[edit | edit source]

Srikanth Srinivasa of Deccan Herald wrote that "Director Rajendra Arya has given a clean social film with he himself pitching in with a good performance. V Manohar is back with a bang, with a good musical score. The editing could have been tighter".[4]

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. Siddalingaiah was a dalit and didn't want to get accused of getting lured by the commercial film industry.[3]
