The Times of India critic Paul Nicodemus stated that "though not groundbreaking, this masala entertainer is a decent effort by Sridhar Gadhe and the team that would appeal to the audiences looking for lighthearted entertainment."[2] Sakshi gave a mixed review for the film, appreciating the performances and music while criticizing the screenplay.[3] Eenadu also echoed the same, stating the film follows a routine format without bringing any novelty.[4] 123telugu.com stated that, "[The film] is a romantic family drama which lacks strong emotions. The music and a few comedy scenes are good but the lack of gripping narration makes the film a dull and boring watch this weekend and has nothing new to showcase."[5]
Lakshminarayana Varanasi of TV9 Telugu felt the film suffers from lackluster screenplay.[6] A reviewer from Pinkvilla wrote "The film under review is a heady concoction of a convenient turn of events, followed by a bunch of sorry cliches."
