The film’s lush background captured by cinematographer Cinetech Soori makes the film visually charming and lends poignancy to the ill-fated love story. V Manohar’s music is melodious. The result is a Kannada film which is a fragrant with native innocence".^[3] A critic from Vijaya Karnataka rated the film 3+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "The duration of the film is 162 minutes. KM to experiment with more cutting for post-interval scenes. Prakash could have tried. Keeping such minor flaws aside, this is a first-class film that is worthy of class and mass".^[4]
