Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "Yet another love story from Usha Kiron Movies. The script is poor with routine situations" and added that "There is imbalance between the volume of the dialogue and the musical score in the background".[3] A critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "The movie is pretty boring. There is not even a single scene in the film that captivates the mood of viewers. It's a bad film from that came out of the good banner like Usha Kiron movies. Watch it at your own risk!"[4] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "The clichéd story isn't a fundamental problem (as nothing is original anymore) but everything else is".[5] TeluguCinema wrote "The story line is very weak and unconvincing clubbed with worn out screenplay. It’s difficult to get convinced why people are going for crazy options even when fair and straight means are available. The other drawback in the film is its comedy. There is a comedy track that is again a rotten one. Though all the lead actors and other cast did their bits well there is really nothing in the film that can hold the audience. Even the music is average and the title song is the only one worth mentioning. On the whole the film is a complete flat product".[6]
