Reception
Reviewing the film for The Times of India, Sunayana Suresh wrote: "The film has some interesting nuances of the frailties and complexities of the current generation, who prefer being detached and baggage free."[7] The New Indian Express critic A. Sharadhaa called it a "roller coaster ride" which " shouldered on the two young actors." She stated that the film was an urban tale that ran on familiar territory.[8] On technical aspects, Vijaya Karnataka reviewer Avinash G. Ram wrote: "Ajaneesh had the opportunity to make background music more effective. Full marks must be given to Mahen Simha's cinematography. Mahen has built the entire cinema with great ease [sic]"[1]
Jagadish Anagdi of Deccan Herald termed it an "epic misfire." "The first half thoroughly tests our patience with too many unrelated scenes. It starts with an action sequence which, in no way, is linked to the plot. Double entendres are embarrassing.[9]
