Reception
Critical response
A critic from DNA wrote "Circumstances compel them to marry but they decide to live separately. Will they join hands to lead a happy married life? See it on the silver screen. The film is not so bad if you can sit through the first half, which tends to get a bit dragging at parts".[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The casting is good barring Malavika who is too young to be Ganesh’s mother and Manjari’s mother-in-law. Overall, the film is avoidable and you can only rue what it could have been".[6]
