Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "First half of the film is superb with Rajendra Prasad comedy and budding love between Srikanth and Soundarya (from Srikanth side). The second half is less entertaining when compared to the first half, as the viewer will come to know the reason behind Soundarya love towards Srikanth. But the tempo of what Srikanth and Soundarya are going to be left with in the climax is the only binding factor for the viewer".^[2] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "The film drags on and on without any sense of direction, and the so-called comedy essayed by Rajendra Prasad is drab to the core, as is the rest of the film. The relationship shared by Nagarjuna and Soundarya in the film is a consolation of sorts (if one can call that) for the tired and weary audiences".^[3]
