The film received more positive reviews and in his debutante attempt itself Krishna Chaitanya proved his talent as a director. This film indirectly is on the the subject of encroachment of Kollu Lake and the sufferings of the people of the village. Krishna Chaitanya proved his talent of taking social issues into the film. The overall performance like dialogues, cinematography and choregraphy is well and impressive. But it is Nara Rohit’s show steals all the credit for making it a success. Vaisakh Singh, in her limited but important role, has taken the audience with her elegent performance. The main criticism against the film is it is lagging in the first half and takes time to get a momentum . Let us conclude this review from a quote of Deccan Chronicle: “ On the whole, it is a good debut for Krishna as director as he comes up with a real problem. … But the film is fresh when comparing to the regular masala films.”
