'' scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "Full marks to Prajwal for his performance, especially as Krishna. Ananya is too serious throughout the movie. Srinath, Doddanna, Jaijagadish and Sadhu Kokila have done justice to their roles. Music by SA Rajkumar has some catchy numbers. Cinematography by Vinod Bharathi is admirable". Srikanth Srinivasa '' Rediff.com'' scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "The background music is louder than the dialogues, which is irritating. Vinod Bharathi's camera work is good, especially in the songs; he has captured some picturesque locales. The film is an average family entertainer, devoid of the usual masala".
