Cinematography by M Sukumaran is amazing".[6] Srikanth Srinivasa from Rediff.com scored the film at 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Harikrishna's background score is breezy and the film doesn't bore the viewer with unwanted songs. This movie is a neat family entertainer and worth a watch".[7] A critic from NDTV wrote "Sukumar's camera work is excellent, while Guru Prasad's dialogues are funny and precise. Overall, it is an enjoyable film, which offers a lot of variety of entertainment".[8] Shruti I L from DNA wrote "Yes, there could have been less bloodshed and better music. Actors like Achyutha and Rakesh should also have been put to better use and the second half could have been crisper. But don’t make these your reasons to not watch the film".[9] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "The background music is loud and hampers a decent sleep while watching the film. The camerawork is better than most other aspects of the film. Sukadhare’s break from filmmaking has not worked for him or the audience".[10] Awards
