Reception

The Full Hyderabad wrote that "Even with all these drawbacks the movie is worth a watch for the laughs, if not for anything else". Indiainfo wrote "The oft-repeated story has nothing new and the treatment also is not very innovative. But, thankfully the script sans vulgarity. Some of the comedy scenes in the film test one’s patience and fail to evoke even a smile". Andhra Today wrote "Generally love themes are successful only when they have some novelty in them. But this movie boasting of no such credit fails in various departments. A hackneyed story and sequences, further jeopardized by insipid comedy leave little room for appreciation for the movie".
