wrote" Dimple Chopde adds to the glamour quotient of the movie. However, she has been completely wasted as an actress. As usual, Rangayana Raghu and Sharath Lohitashwa excel in their roles. Music by Arjun Janya does not live up to the expectations. The songs are forgettable". '' Bangalore Mirror'' wrote "To justify the ugly side of the baddie, there are a few murders and rapes.

However, the film is a welcome change for Prem who has long been stuck in stereotypical roles as a lover boy. He does not disappoint, but the film does, to a large extent".
