The film marks the debut of mass hero Srihari as a comedy hero and was completed in mid-2001.[3] A dog plays a major role.[4]
The film notably has no songs,[3] and the score was composed by Vandemataram Srinivas.[4]
Gudipoodi Srihari from The Hindu wrote "Prakash Raj and Abhirami dominate the show with Srihari playing the second fiddle to them. Some sequences at the end, featuring Srihari and LB Sriram are entertaining. Music score by Vandemataram is average".[5] A reviewer of idlebrain.com says "The first half of the film has no story and is full of comedy. The second half has a little bit of story and sentiment along with comedy. The comedy of the second half is very well received (mainly due to the presence of sentiment)".[6] A reviewer of Sify wrote "Prakash Raj proves he has a comic angle, while new girl Abhirami has made a decent debut in Telugu films. Thank god the film does not have any songs".[7]
