A critic from
Zamin Ryot praised the work of the cast and the crew and wrote that "the result of Rajaskhar's first attempt as a director is appreciable". A critic from
Sify wrote that "In his two decade long experience AVS should have observed that Telugu film audience have seldom patronized tragedies, but anyhow he should be lauded for making a risky attempt. We need more of such good filmmakers to break a new path in routine commercial firmament".
Andhra Today wrote "The all-pervasive AVS steals the show entirely from Tarun, disappointing the audience's great expectations of him in his second movie. As a story writer he fails in providing an engaging story and churns out a drag. As a producer too, much cost cutting has been done".
Telugu Cinema wrote "On the whole the story has so many loose ends. Both the story and screenplay are too amateurish. The only saving grace in the film is Tarun with his refreshing look and action".
Indiainfo wrote "AVS's attempt to become a producer comes a cropper though he may make some money cashing in on the popularity of Tarun in the wake of success of
Nuvve Kavali. The movie suffers from all the drawbacks associated with poor script and lack of homework. This happened in spite of the fact AVS himself authored the script". == Box office ==
