On the technical front, he stated that Keeravani's music and Jayaram's cinematography "accentuate the dramatic impact of the film.

"[4] Andhra Today wrote "This may perhaps add to the string of flops Mohan Babu and Srikanth have been adding to their credit.Lack of substance in the story , unimaginative screen-play take its toll on the movie.Kodanda Rami Reddy's direction after a long gap doesn't seem to be in tune with the times.A story that should have been driven by humor is totally devoid of it, and sometimes even defy logic".
