## Reception
The film received a mixed critical and commercial response. The Times of India's Paul Nicodemus gave it 2.0 out of 5, writing that despite its shortcomings it presents a dynamic and bold narrative that may appeal to a young audience seeking a contemporary love story with action and slice-of-life elements.[4](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/siddharth-roy/amp_movie_review/107941333.cms) 123telugu rated it 2 out of 5 under the headline "Overdose of attitude."[10](https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/siddharth-roy-telugu-movie-review.html) On IMDb the film holds a 6.2/10 rating from about 3,000 votes.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27917467/)
