04Release

The film released on 4 November, coinciding with Diwali. Unlike the original, the film was a box office failure, but did not lose money due to the film's shoestring budget.

Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu compared the film with Tagore. Jeevi of Idlebrain.com said that "The plus points are music and modern taking. Minus points are predictability in story and no surprise/shocking elements". A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote, "Jassie Gift's music is the only point of the movie worth sitting up for".
