Reception
Cinema Express wrote "Witnessing A Venkatesh, a filmmaker who has been in the industry for three decades, make such a film is, to put it lightly, disheartening". Times of India wrote "the film-making lets you down, with crude staging, amateurish performances, haphazard editing and over loud score."
