A critic from Pinkvilla wrote that "The naivete of the ineptrebels is not as amusing as the characters from the 'Jathi Ratnalu' universe was". A critic from The Hans India wrote that "Director Merlapaka Gandhi falters heavily regarding the screenplay. His thought to provide more entertainment kills the movie’s soul, and hence the film squanders around inconsistently". A critic from Telugucinema.com wrote that "The film suffers from a lack of seriousness in its approach to the story and narrative. What appeared to be a light-hearted film devolves into a clumsy attempt".
