Reception
Critical Response
The Times of India scored the film at 4 out of 5 stars and says "While Rakesh tops the list with a brilliant performance, Nivedita is lively as the girl next door. Harshika, though impressive, doesn’t fit into the role. Nagakiran, Satya and Srinivas Prabhu have done justice. Music by Veera Samarth has some catchy tunes, especially the number ‘Mugilina maatu…’[3]News18 India wrote "For the mood of the film Ananth Urs camera whirrs to showcase the developments. The costumes for this film are pretty good.[4]Rediff.com wrote "Harshika Poonacha looks very glamorous but too young for the role, though she has acquitted herself commendably. Nagkiran doesn't have much of a role. Srinivasa Prabhu shines as Parie's father.".[5] S Viswanath from Deccan Herald wrote "Mainly drawing its sustenance from the tragic and troublesome romance played out against the backdrop of illicit liquor trade Parie’s family are in, the film turns out into potent potion of heady cocktail giving one heavy, head-banging hangover.
