Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "The film starts off slowly and drags right until the end".[3] A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "The director has spent considerable energy, thinking out and using every trick in the trade; a small portion of spending the same energy on a coherent script would have been the icing on a cake".[4]
