Reception

Critical response

Suhas Yellapantula from The New Indian Express wrote "You pinch yourself to believe it when he says it a second time, but when you realise that it's a constant fixture in the film -- you know it's time to leave the theatre".^[5] Ch Sowmya Sruthi from The Times of India says "The episodes in the first half where Vishnu Manchu imitates his dad Mohan Babu’s dialogue delivery got the loudest whistles".^[6]
