Reception

A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Coming back after a long spell of silence the renowned producer with high respect Katragadda Prasad gives a magnificent movie for the masses especially the rural class of people. The sitting pretty girl Radhika gives a different role in ‘MM’ and she is already getting ‘Seeti’ in the cinema hall. Director Saiprakash a man armed with many credits has once again gives an attractive film". A critic from indiainfo.com wrote that "Overall we have something different here.
