in his debut directorial venture", and while he had "an amazing grip over" the film's tempo, and despite the film having a unique theme and a beautiful message, he failed to execute it on the screen. It was granted that the film's first half offered racy narration, "with a couple romantic songs and a few rib-tickling comedy sequences", but it hit rough patches during the second half "where its narration turns damn slow and a few dragging scenes might even bore the viewers", working to its detriment. Arjun Kalyan, the lead, delivered a decent performance, but he has still long way to go to prove his metal. 123Telugu offered that the film had a good concept but a bad execution. Pluses included the film's concept "of ‘ selfless donations ‘ and charity without expecting anything in return have been dealt with nicely." Actor Dr. M. Balayya was praised for delivering "a classy and restrained performance". Newcomer Arjun Kalyan was "ok as the male lead", but needs to become relaxed and more comfortable in future roles. Vennela Kishore was entertaining in his role of movie reviewer, and RJ Ghajini was god in his role of an aspiring film director. Comedy scenes in the film's first half were good and "the song ‘Puttadi Bomma’ was shot beautifully." Film deficits include newcomer Sumona Chanda being a poor casting choice for the female lead, as it was felt "she does not have the kind of face that appeals to Telugu viewers." Further, the senior actors led by Goutham Raju were irritating and their comedy scenes seemed poorly written.
