Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and says "WhileRavichandran as Surya looks smart, his role as Mallikarjuna is less impressive with silly make-up. Sada is okay. Ramesh Bhat impresses. Cinematography by G S V Seetharam and music by S A Rajkumar are average".[1] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Music director SA Rajkumar has done a neat job. Cinematographer Seetharam has also worked well behind the camera. It is worth watching if you are capable of coping up with this stale script and meaningless stunt sequences".[2] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The story has some stale jokes (remember the original is 10 years old) and even older situations. A lot was expected, but music director SA Rajkumar comes out with average numbers. It is high time filmmakers tried out something different, instead of churning out remakes".[3]
