Reception

Critical response

The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Ganesh excels in a role that suits him well. Ruchitha Ram is brilliant in her expression and dialogue delivery. Priyanka Rao should improve her dialogue delivery. Music by Arjun Janya is okay. But H C Venu’s camerawork is marvellous, especially in the opening shot."[10] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Since the standard of film songs in Kannada has risen several notches in the last few years, the fact that there are only two hit songs in the film could be a let-down for some. Overall, the film is a good watch and won’t disappoint anyone searching for two hours of good time."[11]Sify wrote "Camera by HC Venu spans across the beautiful locations and is surely an amazing part of the movie, while the musical score by Arjun Janya are an added advantage to the movie. The movie is near to perfect as a weekend entertainer."[12]
