Reception
Sridevi S. of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Raghu, who has handled multiple responsibilities as lead actor, director and writer has done a commendable job. The comedy, however, could have been better, as the jokes don’t land as expected. There is plenty of drama, too."[11] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "The movie is worth a watch for those who want some relief from the mundane."[1]
A. Sharadhaa of Cinema Express gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While the strange and unpredictable nature of the plot keeps things interesting at first, it eventually slows down and feels drawn-out. The film spends too much time on events that don’t help push the story forward."[12] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Not for serious minds, this one is simply a silly time-pass with a touch of suspense and drama."[13]
