Reception
Idlebrain wrote "The first half of the film is little confusing, as you have no clue about how the scenes are coming and where the story is going. In the second half the story gains momentum and ends with a neat and impressive climax".[1] Telugu Cinema wrote "Mohan Babu’s histrionics and gimmicks, mostly resembling Rajanikath in Pedarayudu, are hard hitting but prove that Mohan Babu has something to offer to his fans. Though Mohan Babu comes in dual role, the role of the son has nothing much to do except doing some song numbers with Priya Gill who looks too odd as a village girl. Songs and dance sequences are not up to the mark. It’s a film for those who want to show Mohan Babu in Rajanikanth’s shoes".[5]
