Reception


A critic from indiainfo.com wrote that "Though it has all the characteristics of parallel cinema, it is overwhelming with commercial aspects. Still one can feel the beautiful blend of comedy, song and sentiments". A critic from Viggy wrote that "Director Mahendar succeeded in not making the film look like photocopy of its original film 'Erra Mandaram'. With his consecutive success of remake films Vaali, Ninagagi and Balarama Mahendar now is a hatric[k] director".
