Jeevi ofIdlebrain.com rated the film three out of five and wrote that "Instead of concentrating more on what he is good at, director Teja has chosen to elaborate and exploit the patriotism aspect. He failed in getting emotions right through patriotic episodes".[1] Similarly, a critic fromSify wrote that "It is better for Teja to make good love stories than dabble in complicated storylines".[4]
