Reception

A critic from Chitraloka wrote that "It is like moving the mountain to a man. The noted producer H.D.Kumaraswamy has once again expressed his strong niche for good quality of Kannada films. The high production value the film consists is a feast to the eyes of the audience".^[3] A critic from indiainfo.com wrote that "The only things in the movie which can attract the movie goers is the songs and shots taken at Mauritius, though Giri's photography is not that captivating. The film which should have been a full length comedy, fails due to various reasons, though at times Doddanna, Chandru and the hero try to pull it out of the rut".^[4]
