Andhra Today wrote "The message-oriented movie, instead of making a loud and clear appeal that right to life is same to all and medical practitioners and others should be humane and considerate, stoops to the commercial level like any other run- of- the-mill movie".^[1] Screen wrote "This is a Venkatesh film all the way, and he carries the film on his shoulders with a splendid performance as an upright journalist who takes on an evil health minister".^[2]
