Reception

Sify rated the film 3/5 and called the film a "clean comedy." On performances, the reviewer wrote, "Venu as Sathru proves that he is excellent in comedy. Arjun as Krishna is perfect, but Jagapathi as Dasu could have been better."[5] Idlebrain.com rated the film 3.25 and stated: "The story and relationships in this film are quite complex. But the whole credit should go to the debutant director Raja to narrate a story in such a way that all the viewers understand the complex and randomly changing relationships clearly."[6]
