Reception edit
A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Though Prajwal has done a good job, he does not fit the role. Haripriya impresses with her glamorous look. Pallakki Radhakrishna has done a good job as villain. Less said the better about the rest".[1] Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "Kashi Vishwanath's camera work is shoddy. Deva's music is nothing much to write about. Director Ravi Raj has neither understood the language nor has he got a grip on the narrative. The film manages to raise barely a few laughs. It lacks comic timing and punchy dialogues. It is better to stay clear from this intolerable film".[2] Y Maheswara Reddy from DNA wrote "Her dialogue delivery deserves appreciation in particular. Saving grace comes only in the form of Deva’s music. Don’t think too much before giving this film a miss, is our final verdict!".[3] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Prajwal looks good and varies his voice for the two different getups well. He has matured, but unfortunately his films have not. He better choose his future films well. Along with Haripriya, he makes a good pair on the screen. What is lacking are good film makers to tap such potential".[4]
