A critic from Rediff.com wrote that Teja "rehashes his old hit Nuvvu Nenu for the entertaining first half (principal-lecturer duo, students' pranks and poor and rich conflict) but his 'dramatic' second part drags on and on, testing the audience's patience".[6] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "This film is a disappointment from Teja".[7]
