Reception

''Andhra Today'' wrote "One wonders at the choice of the story by the director and his conviction in it specially when it defies logic. Added to this fare is the insipid comedy to bore. A delayed declaration of love by Amrutha for Dorababu comes as no revelation as the director makes it out to be. That's what makes the movie a drag".
