Release and reception

The film was initially scheduled to release on 6 April 2007.[1] The film was released on 29 June 2007, a crowded release date when Boys and Girls, Bahumati and Aa Roje were released subsequently.[6]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "It is a badly made film with good music".[2] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "But for Krishna's episode and the glamour of Astha Singhal, the film has nothing to talk about".[7] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "The only plus points that the film boasts of are Krishna's small role and Astha Singhals glamour role".[8]
