Reception
editJeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film one out of five and wrote that "This film is a third grade film that is made with a poor taste. Upendra is wasted in this role of Sri. Most of the scenes of the film are obscene and vulgar. Woman can never watch this film in public".[3] Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "Only Upendra and Priyanka dominate the drama. The rest simply fade away in this flimsy drama".[4]
