A critic from Bangalore Mirror opined that "Unfortunately, the movie looks like a documentary. It lacks a tight script and fails to hold your attention for most of the second half".[9] A critic from Indiaglitz said that "All in all, the film is just about average, though the comic track with Sunil and Lakshmipati is something that one will remember for a long time".[10]
