Reception
RSP of 'The Indian Express' gave the film a mixed review, citing "the narration lacks depth [...] Kushboo has been wasted. Captain Raju fails to impress only the first song bears Maragadha Mani's stamp" and praised the stunt sequences. The film was a success, and revitalised Arjun's career.
