Release and reception
The film was initially scheduled to release on 7 August 2003, but was postponed due to financial problems.
A critic from 'Sify' gave the film a negative review and said that "The film, which is a comedy caper can be labelled as the most pathetic film of the year. This is veteran comedian AVS's second directorial venture, but the comedy scenes fail to evoke any laughter among the audiences. Not even a single scene is interesting and on the whole plainly irritating". Jeevi of 'Idlebrain.com' opined that " Though all the comedy artists of the industry are present in this film, the laughter they created is nil" and that "By directing movies, he [AVS] is only losing all the hard-earned good will". Preetam Akkineni of 'Full Hyderabad' advised viewers to take Tiger Balm before watching the film because of the splitting headache that the film induces.
Box office
Similar to 'Uncle' (2000), his first film as a producer, this film was also a box office failure.
