Reception



A critic from 'Sify' opined that "Comedian M.S.Narayana has launched his son Vikram in this film that has nothing new, supported by an inane story and screenplay". Jeevi of 'Idlebrain.com' rated the film one out of five and wrote that "By launching his own son as hero, MS Narayana did more harm to Vikram than any help". A critic from 'Indiaglitz' stated that "The entire cast comes out as if they are auditioning for a stage drama in the 60s and 70s --- loud, predictable and overplaying".

Box office



The film was a box office failure. M. S. Narayana cited that the reason for the film's failure was that the audience expected him to make a comedy film. After the film's failure, M. S. Narayana went on to direct a comedy film 'Bhajantrilu' (2007) also starring his son Vikram.
