Reception

Rediff wrote: "this film is aimed purely at the B and C categories". Hindu wrote: "Writer-director Raj Kapoor sees to it that Ramachandra's reckless, impulsive ventures only lead to mindless melee and every time you expect some intelligent counters from him, he lets you down very badly". Balaji B wrote: "The movie soon turns us off with its violence, cliches and chaos before becoming even worse and entering into virtually unwatchable territory".
