Reception
Critical response
Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu wrote "The climax offers some surprise, though there’s a deja vu of Nithya Menen’s thread in S/O Sathyamurthy. An undernourished sub-plot about valuing human relationships over dogmatic practices is the silver lining here that could have been the film’s main plot".[6] Shruti Soumya of The Times of India wrote "To ensure her business kicks off smoothly, Bhanumathi pretends to be Venu’s girlfriend before the world. When Venu confronts her, she tries to convince him that it is a good idea to continue with the lie so that they both don't get into trouble".[7] Kumar Shiva of India Herald says "Even though the songs and dialogues are fine, it seems that there is something new missing in the story of the movie. As the artistes are new, it takes some time for the audience to digest them. Overall, it can be said that the movie is a good effort by Jaya. But it would have been better to be more careful".[8]
