Review

The reviews of the film are favorable regarding the rendition of songs, choreography and the dual role of the protagonist, but the film suffers because of its long duration and its sluggish pace in the first half of the movie. Sudeep excels more as an actor rather than a film director. Ragini as a debutante is imposing.[8] Sudeep does justice to his dual role, so does Tennis Krishna. Dharma is impressive in the sentimental role. Camera work and the action scenes of the movie are worth commenting.[9] chitraloka [10]
