Reception

Gudipoodi Srihari from The Hindu wrote, "Prakash Raj and Abhirami dominate the show with Srihari playing the second fiddle to them. Some sequences at the end, featuring Srihari and LB Sriram are entertaining. Music score by Vandemataram is average". A reviewer of idlebrain.com said, "The first half of the film has no story and is full of comedy. The second half has a little bit of story and sentiment along with comedy. The comedy of the second half is very well received ". A reviewer of Sify wrote, "Prakash Raj proves he has a comic angle, while new girl Abhirami has made a decent debut in Telugu films. Thank god the film does not have any songs". Telugu Cinema wrote "With the difference in the story line EVV imprinted his mark of comedy which gives a familiar feeling. He even repeated scenes from his earlier films. Out and out it's an average film with EVV mark comedy".
