Reception

Sify wrote "Jai Chiranjeeva offers very little by way of surprise and it is the one-man entertainment troupe called Chiranjeevi that salvages this uneven film".[5] Idlebrain wrote "First half of the film is satisfactory with entertainment. There is lag in the second half. [..] Climax should have been handled better. The plus points of the film are Chiranjeevi and comedy dialogues by Trivikram. On the flipside, the main revenge objective of hero was not efficiently projected".[6]
