Reception
[edit]Indian Express wrote "[..] director Naganna, who is trying his hand at direction after a long gap, may not be assured of success. During the first half of the film, especially, the story moves at a snail's pace [..] The only consolation is Seetharam’s photography and Umasri, Kashi and Sunderraj’s comedic talents."[5]
