Release and reception
[edit]The film was scheduled to release on 27 September, but was postponed to 30 September.[5][6] Y. Sunitha Chowdhury of The Hindu opined that "He [Adarsh Balakrishna] and Surya Tej are resolutely superficial, Naga Shourya should try and be an original instead of imitating Prabhas and Mahesh Babu".[3] A critic from Full Hyderabad opined that "In sum, this is a film that will not have takers even among TV channels".[7]
