However, the screening of the film in Nalgonda district was stopped following protests by Muslims.[1] The film was a box office success, and Deepak earned the name Sampangi Deepak.[8][4] The film was remade in Hindi by Krishna as Ishq Hai Tumse (2004).[8][9]

A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "A good family movie, despite a rather clichéd overall theme".[2]
