He played his part very well in the movie. As a story-teller, he is brilliant and at the same time, as an actor, he is good. He scored good marks in the debut".[9] 123 Telugu was more critical of the film, calling the second part a disaster and Dilip Kumar Salvadi's acting, decent but his film direction, disappointing.[10]
