Reception
Chitraloka said of the film, "It is a punching and power packed performance once again from Darshan. Avinash shouts and salutes as they encounter Amar. Satyajit screams a lot and succumbs to Dasa’s strategies. Amrutha is tolerable. Songs does not deserve any mention. Cinematography is apt."[4] A critic from indiainfo wrote that "Overall a good film".[5]
