scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Sudeep's performance is praiseworthy, while Ramya has put up a brillaint show. Srinath is gracious too, and Pushpa Swamy impresses the audience even in that only one scene that she appears on screen. V Harikrishna's music has some catchy tunes and Srivenkat's cinematography is equally good".
