Reception
[edit]A critic from Chitraloka wrote, "Debutant director Prakash gives much more than the concept he holds in a two and half film. He is diligent in all areas of this film and it does not appear that he is wielding the megaphone for the first time" and concluded, "It is a colorful film made sensibly".[6]
