Reception
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of three out of five and said that "The film is good in the first half of the second half. However, the climax scene of Ravi Teja convincing Tanikella Bharani about their love is unconvincing".[1] Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu opined that "Raviteja has a couple of handicaps — his hastiness in diction, sans improvement over these three or four successful films, and a typical style of domination over the fairer sex, keeping himself in a commanding position. Hence, the film lacks in aesthetics essential for a love story".[6]
