Reception

Radhika Rajamani of ''Rediff'' rated the film one out of five stars and wrote, "There are just a few scenes with Brahmanandam and Chekri that establish the link with the earlier ''Money''. This caper is pretty childish and immature with the humour falling flat and the actors, including Brahmanandam, not able to rise above the weak script and portrayal of characters."
