Reception

[edit]

A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It is more a time pass drama, but for those last few reels. The dialogue and scenic structure are meant more for entertainment".[2] A critic from Idlebrain.com rated the film 2 12 out of 5 and wrote that "The story of the film is good. Bandi Ramesh, the director, did the justice in portraying friendship in a very believable way. But the director failed to maintain the grip on the film throughout".[1] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Do yourself a favor and take the virtues of friendship for granted. Don't let anyone tell you about them!"[3]
