Reception

A critic from Zamin Ryot wrote that "In his eagerness to direct himself by focusing on the role of the hero he plays, Krishna Reddy complains that he was unable to focus on other characters, the story and the scenes".^[3] A critic from Andhra Today wrote that "The wishy- washy story and the lackluster performance of the hero disappoints the high expectations of the audience".^[1]
