Reception
A critic from Sify opined that "The script and presentation are weak and even the music of Koti is disappointing. Aryan Rajesh needs to brush up his acting and to concentrate on his dancing as his movements lack grace. Nikhita looks glamorous in those skimpy clothes and has the potential to go places".[6] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Over all it's an average film. You can watch it once at your leisure".[7] Kiran Nadella of Full Hyderabad gave the film a negative review and said that "Because every single scene save for some good sceneries will urge you to slide off your chair and smash your skull into the floor, and I bet you will enjoy it better that way".[8] Andhra Today wrote "The director has blown up a very small point in a relationship which really does not sustain to become a story for a movie and hence may not impress the audience. EVV ought to have thought of a better story for a debut movie for his son than this potential flop story. Neither the dialogue nor the treatment add anything more to the movie".[9] Telugu Cinema wrote "Though it sounds interesting when read it was so pale on the screen with EVV’s style of making. EVV tried to make a youth film in his typical style including attempting his typical style of lewd comedy tracks. He failed to play the sensitive and tender emotions, a necessary ingredient in a youth love story".[10]
Notes
