Reception

A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "Hype is generally inversely proportional to quality. This film proves this. No feverish promos. No signs of any pretensions. No jiggery-pokery. The film’s just plain and direct".[3]

Collecting 37 lack nett on opening day, and a total of 2.74cr nett, the film failed to do well at the box office.[4]
