Critical reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and stated that "This film is for fans of commercial cinema in its purest form. Of course, it may have a song or fight extra, but that's always a bonus for people who like such cinema.[10] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that the film "is the kind of film that makers think consolidates a fan base of a star. This proves otherwise."[11] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "The film has a thin plot but it keeps you entertained. It's out-and-out Yash's show that cannot be missed by his fans".[12] A critic from Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "No doubt that this one is straight from the rocking star to his fan!".[13]
