Release and reception
The film was released in India on 6 March 2020.[5] It was later released on Amazon Prime in April 2020.[6]
The Times of India rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "The film and its contrived storyline doesn’t give any of the actors enough scope to perform."[7] NTV Telugu criticised the film for its poor storyline and lack of good humour. On performances, the reviewer stated that "Dhanya comes with a lot of ease, thanks to her familiarity with Telugu. Komalee Prasad, a Telugu-speaking actress, does a fine job as well. Tridha and Siddhi could have been much better."[8]
