Reception
Srikanth of Deccan Herald wrote that "This is Sakshi Shivanand’s film all the way. She has once again proved that given the right opportunities she can certainly perform apart from being a pretty face. The same cannot be said about Upendra who has gone in for a change of image through this film Gimmicks do not work always going by what happened to all his releases this year — H2O, Superstar and Naagarahaavu — all disasters. He needs to take up acting lessons seriously if he wants to remain an actor".[3][4] Indiainfo wrote "The director Rajendra Babu has tried to trim the film with expertise. There is no usual Uppi style, no hasty dialogues and no gaudy dresses and weird gimmicks. It is a plain family movie. But remake film being a remake film, there are flaws like the directly translated dialogues and songs, which are intolerable".[5]
