Reception
Idlebrain wrote "Screenplay of the film is average. Kodi Rama Krishna is expert at handling sentimental stories. In This film also he inserted all ingredients to attract female audiences. But he over did the sentiment scenes most of the times".[6] Telugu Cinema wrote "Do we need to buy this sort of remakes from other lanugages? This type of sentimental stuff we are watching from the day one of the Telugu cinema was born. (The film is a remake of Kannada block buster). We are already watching this sort of stuff in TV as serials".[7]
