'BharatStudent' gave 2.5 of 5 stars and stated " While the first half goes about with punch dialogues and action sequences, the second half gets emotional but culminates to the mass track with the high energy dialogues and some good comedy".Sify wrote "The songs in the background written and composed by Hamsalekha are very meaningful and rise to the occasion. KM Vishuvardhana camera work is splendid. The capturing of many action scenes is not an easy task. Action lovers this is a festival treat!"
