Release[edit]

Idlebrain gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "The plus points of the film are performance of Mohan Babu and music by Ilayaraja. The main drawback of the film is old-fashioned narration and taking".^[2] Full Hyderabad stated that "Shrill drama, violent costumes and blaring choreography – everything the posters promise you, and nothing you don’t see coming".^[5]
