Reception
A critic from Chitraloka wrote that "A heavily loaded nonstop silly comedy surrounding the three wayward youths is quite interesting film. Forget the logic and watch this".[6] Indiainfo wrote "The movie basically suffers from a weak storyline; the story seems to be beyond even the director's control. The first half is funny but in the second half, the story loses shape".[7]
