After knowing it is Dilip, not Chiru, he agrees for Madhu and Dilip's marriage and takes them home. Chiru begins to miss Madhu realizing his love for her. Madhu, too realizes her love for Chiru and reveals it to her mother, who asks her to elope, but she refuses, saying that she has already made her father feel shame and will not repeat the mistake again.

Reception

Critical response

A critic from The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Chiranjivi steals the show with some good dance moves. Krithi Kharabanda excels in her performance, while Kirans acts are impressive. Rangayana Raghu fits perfectly into his role. Sundaranath Suvarnas cinematography enhances the cinematic appeal".[4] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1.5 out of 5 stars and says "Kirti has bagged a role that doesn't confine her to songs alone. The debutant has enough scope for performance. Rangayana Raghu breaks free from his comic acts in this film and plays a concerned father. He carries off  the role with ease. Kiran Sreenivas has a meaty role too. Watch Chiru if you have nothing else planned for the weekend".[5] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Kriti is a good find and charms her way throughout and Kiran does not mind playing second fiddle.The lack of a sterling performance by Chiranjeevi and chartbuster songs are the drawbacks of this film. That does not mean it is not a good watch. [6] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Chiranjeevi and Kiran make interesting contrasts just like Kriti with Rangayana Raghu – the actors getting the nuances just right. This Chirru makes all the right noises. Worth watching".[7] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "The major disadvantage of this film is lack of comedy which would have given the much needed break from the monotonous verbose narration. Bullet Prakash tries his best to make the audience giggle but fails".[8]
