Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "It is a badly made film with good music".[2] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "But for Krishna's episode and the glamour of Astha Singhal, the film has nothing to talk about".[7] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "The only plus points that the film boasts of are Krishna's small role and Astha Singhals glamour role".[8]
