Reception

Deccan Herald gave the mixed a film review, commending the first and criticizing the second halves of the film. The reviewer added, "Sunil is his usual self. Nagashekhar, who has mostly been doing comic roles, plays one of the lead characters but his talent has not been utilised much. The roles of the three heroines do not have scope. Radhika's role is limited to some dialogues and two songs. Suja and Sandhya are there for the sake of the other lead actors."[6]
