Critical reception
Upon the release, Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave 3/5 stating "NTR is improving from film to film. To put in a more frank way, people started accepting NTR as his number of films is increasing (remember the old adage - tinaga tinaga vemu teeyanundu)". Telugucinema.com stated "The film is below the expectations in all the senses. Songs in New Zealand are ok. Other songs are not up to the mark".2 Andhra Today wrote "The director makes a grand appearance on the celluloid to eulogize and compare it with several previous legends of love such as Devadas-Parvathi, and Laila-Majnu, but the movie is far from living up to them. The story is a drag and can test the patience of the audience. NTR may disappoint his audience, in this second movie. Like most bollywood starlets, Sonali Joshi may turn out to be a one-film wonder. Music by Mani Sarma is not very impressive".3 The movie was an average grosser at the box office.
