Reception
Critical response
A critic fromThe Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Chiranjivi steals the show with some good dance moves. Krithi Kharabanda excels in her performance, while Kiran's acts are impressive. Rangayana Raghu fits perfectly into his role. Sundaranath Suvarna's cinematography enhances the cinematic appeal". Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of 'Rediff.com' scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "Kirti has bagged a role that doesn't confine her to songs alone. The debutant has enough scope for performance. Rangayana Raghu breaks free from his comic acts in this film and plays a concerned father. He carries off the role with ease. Kiran Sreenivas has a meaty role too. WatchChiruif you have nothing else planned for the weekend". A critic fromBangalore Mirror wrote "Kriti is a good find and charms her way throughout and Kiran does not mind playing second fiddle.The lack of a sterling performance by Chiranjeevi and chartbuster songs are the drawbacks of this film. That does not mean it is not a good watch. B S Srivani fromDeccan Herald wrote "Chiranjeevi and Kiran make interesting contrasts just like Kriti with Rangayana Raghu the actors getting the nuances just right. This Chirru makes all the right noises. Worth watching". A critic fromThe New Indian Express wrote "The major disadvantage of this film is lack of comedy which would have given the much needed break from the monotonous verbose narration. Bullet Prakash tries his best to make the audience giggle but fails".
