Reception
R. G. Vijayasarathy of Rediff.com opined that "Ravi Shashtry has a strong message to convey, but it unfortunately ends up being an ordinary film".[3] A critic from Sify wrote that "This remake of K.Bhagyaraj classic Idhu Namma Aal from Tamil lacks the Kannada milieu and flavour. Director M.S.Rajashekhar could have made the film more racy and entertaining, which would have appealed to the masses".[4]
