Reception
editJeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Only saving grace of this film is some neat photography by Sreenivasa Reddy and royal performance of K Vishwanath".[3] A critic from Andhra Today wrote that "Veeru K. does not make an impression with any of the departments - neither story nor direction, neither screen-play nor music - but tests the patience of the audience. A vain bid to make a movie by hashing out bits of various successful hits along with a copied comedy leave no impact on the audience".[4]
