Release and reception
The film was scheduled to release on 27 September, but was postponed to 30 September. Y. Sunitha Chowdhury of The Hindu opined that "He and Surya Tej are resolutely superficial, Naga Shourya should try and be an original instead of imitating Prabhas and Mahesh Babu". A critic from Full Hyderabad opined that "In sum, this is a film that will not have takers even among TV channels".
