A critic from Full Hyderabad opined that "Since even this tedium is packaged with a comic touch, it is not unbearable either. It is just one of those regular run-of-the-mill comedies that we have seen before".[3][4]
A devotee of Lord Venkateswara filed a complaint about how the film's title demeaned the god. Chanti Addala, the film's producer organized a press meet where he talked about how the film was not a devotional film but solely a film for entertainment.[5]
