Reception

A critic from Deccan Herald opined that "The film is truly worthy of the weavers of our national tricolour!"[2] The New Indian Express wrote, "This film may remain as one of the best films of Vishnuvardhan’s career. With his mature acting, the film’s story has been handled with the right touch. He never indulges in overacting".[3]
