Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Chaitanya Danthuluri is a promising filmmaker and takes up a potential subject, but falls short in making it a well-made film".[4] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The film has a much more purpose than entertainment. It inspires one not to give in to a situation but rise above it, even if it means facing a risk".[5] A critic from The Hans India rated the film three out of five and wrote that "Director Chaitanya after Banam has yet again created another good movie. The plot and narration of the story are excellent. Though the lead role players are not very matured, even then they have strived to deliver their best performance".[6]
