'' opined that "On the whole the film has nothing new to offer". Jeevi of '' Idlebrain.com'' gave the film a rating of two out of five and wrote that "The plus points of the film are Hari Krishna and visual effects. The minus points are story, dialogues, screenplay and direction". Mithun Verma of ''Full Hyderabad'' said that "This has to be the best performance of Hari Krishna till date" and that "Where the movie lacks in originality, it makes up with some cool action sequences and some impressive con games the hero plays to deceive the court". A critic from ''Indiaglitz'' called the film a "letdown" and stated that "It has not even a single frame or idea which can be called original and new. It begins predictably, moves predictably and ends predictably".
