Critical reception[edit | edit source]
Film critic R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "If the director had given some thought to the narration and worked out a tight script, the film could have appealed to the youth".[5] A reviewer of Deccan Herald wrote "Auditya is good and has also shown that he can fight. Colourful cinematography and catchy dialogues are other plus points of the film".[6] Sify wrote "There are too many drawbacks in the film directed by M.S.Ramesh. The characterization and presentation is not up to the mark and the film has a wafer thin story laced with poor songs tuned by Guru Kiran."[7]
