Reception

Film critic Srikanth Srinivasa of Deccan Herald panned the film, termed it "[A]voidable" and wrote, "The film meanders through the first half. Though Prema looks stunning and beautiful, she is wasted in an inconsequential role. Vishnuvardhan definitely steals the show with his trimmed physique and pleasing screen presence. Umashri is adequate. B C Patil is boring." He added, "Director Umesh has failed to capitalise on Vishnu's immense acting prowess. Music Director Upendra Kumar has scored two melodious tunes which remain hummable only within the theatre hall."^[4]
