Reception

A critic from Vijaya Karnataka wrote that "The only plus point of the film is Jaggesh. Once again he has proved that his body language and timing are still good. Whether in the guise of Krishna, or in the context of wearing a lot of gold, his performance should be enjoyed".[4] A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Debutant director Vasanth is good in bits and pieces. The comedy scenes he has carved to suit the image of 101 films young Jaggesh is hilarious. Jaggesh still has the fine timing and comedy sense".[5]
