Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu opined that "The narration becomes interesting only when it is deals with cricket".[4] A critic from Sify wrote that "The film is made against the cricket background but comes a cropper as director Rama Rao fails to keep the tempo going".[5] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com stated that "But the director failed to cash on the cricketing scenes in this film though the entire film revolves around cricket".[6]
