Reception

TA Kiran Kumar from Zeenews gave the film 2.5/5 stars and stated that, "Ramesh Babu's direction in his debut movie should be appreciated. If only he prepared a better story and screenplay, the ouput would have been a lot better."

A reviewer from 10tv.in reviewed the film and stated that, "The twists in the film are impressive, but some parts of the film feel dragged a bit. Even though the comedy is average, the action sequences were designed to entertain the mass audience."^[13]

A reviewer from Sakshi.com stated about the film that, "The film has been promoted as a multi-genre film, and it really has wide range of emotions like love, sentiment, action, romance, family drama, comedy, revenge, and horror in balanced way. Even though it felt a bit unnecessary to include so many genres in a small film, but it felt that the story needed them."^[14]

A reviewer from Industryhit.com gave the film 3/5 stars and stated that, "While the genre-bending approach may raise questions, the engaging narrative keeps viewers hooked."^[15]
