Reception
Critical response
Shyam Prasad S from Bangalore Mirror Wrote "Komal does his job well.There are no histrionics with everything cut to the point. But also being the producer seems to have burdened him a bit.Harish Raj never gets stranded in any character. He proves he can do any kind of role".[11] A reviewer of The Hans India Wrote "A pacy movie with good sound effects. Telugu comedian Ali as ghostbuster is perhaps the highlight of the movie. He was last seen in Upendra's Super. Horror with comedy is more experimented in Telugu movies, this attempt in Kannada is commendable. A must watch for all Komal fans".[12]
