04Reception
Griddaluru Gopala Rao of Zamin Ryot praised the music, lyrics, picturisation of the songs, and other technical aspects but criticised the screenplay as a cliched triangular love story. Rakesh P. of Deccan Herald called it a "good family entertainer" and stated: "Though the pace is a bit slow, a tightly-edited screenplay by director Muppalaneni Siva keeps it lively." A critic from Andhra Today wrote, "Director Muppalaneni Siva has not taken proper care in making the movie and as a result it fails to captivate the audience".
