Reception

Indiainfo wrote "Of course, there are the usual quota of songs, comedy and sentiments present in the film. After a long time Shivraj's performance is worth mentioning, Shashi Kumar has also done a decent job, Jay seal and Ruchita are okay. Ramesh Bhatt and Ashok Badardinni have some good comic scenes, Kalyan's songs are also okay. Overall, this Telugu remake of Chaala Baagundi is Bahala Chennagide".^[4]
