Times of India in its two star review has declared the film an enjoyable watch: Director Venu Madikanti executes his plot well and makes full use of his creative imagination. So if there are questions popping up in your mind in the middle of the film, it is best not to entertain them but wait for the story to take it’s course.
Rahul has a good physique but the director allows him to show-off and flexes his muscles only when it matters. Rahul has very few dialogues in the film which in a way works in favour of the crime thriller. A neat performance by Rahul coupled with Chaitra’s stellar performance, makes it an enjoyable watch.
International Business Times is all praises for Rahul Tyson - Rahul Tyson of Happy days fame, who is making his comeback, has got a tailor-made role for him here and he has delivered a brilliant performance.

The suspense element is a major highlight in the movie and it has turned out beautifully in the movie. The interval bang raises the curiosity in watching the second half of the film and the makers have not brought down the anxiety levels and maintained the same flow till the climax.
