Cast
Production
The film is produced by Tadi Tata Rao, who produced Joruga Husharuga (2002).[1]
Music
The music for the film was composed by Vandemataram Srinivas.[2]
Reception
A critic from Sify opined that "Comedian M.S.Narayana has launched his son Vikram in this film that has nothing new, supported by an inane story and screenplay".[3] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film one out of five and wrote that "By launching his own son as hero, MS Narayana did more harm to Vikram than any help".[4] A critic from Indiaglitz stated that "The entire cast comes out as if they are auditioning for a stage drama in the 60s and 70s --- loud, predictable and overplaying".[5]
Box office
The film was a box office failure.[6] M. S. Narayana cited that the reason for the film's failure was that the audience expected him to make a comedy film.[7] After the film's failure, M. S. Narayana went on to direct a comedy film Bhajantrilu (2007) also starring his son Vikram.[8]
