Reception
editCritical response
editShruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Dialogues, also by Mohan, make you laugh only at places. Given his calibre, he could have surely come up with wittier dialogues and situations. Also, a repeat of a few scenes involving Krishna and his students could have been done away with".[4] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote "Mohan is guilty of giving the tall, athletic Neethu costumes that are way beyond tacky. He is also guilty of draping gorgeous Nidhi from head to foot. But most important, those looking for a full-blown story will be disappointed".[5] A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Hats off to Ramesh for his brilliant performance. Mohan is as good as his direction. Neethu and Nidhi Subbaiah are excellent, as is Sundararaj. Dattanna is gracious, while Pravin Godkhindis music is impressive".[6]
