Reception
A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "No fights, not much of melodrama (exception to first half) a bunch of friends looking after the comedy department and Gurukiran to make you crazy and of course handling the minute elements effectively is what draws you to this film".[7] A critic from indiainfo rated the film three out of five and wrote that "Though Chitra has a serious social message, it is packed with good humour & acting by co-stars. Dinesh Babu's story telling with humour is there in this movie too. Hence it is a well-balanced movie".[8]
