Reviews
123Telugu.com: The film was described as an “underwhelming rural family drama” that, despite attempting to narrate an emotional story with thrilling elements, was let down by “dull moments and unnecessary scenes,” resulting in a “below par watch.”
The New Indian Express: The review highlighted the film’s initial success in balancing dark comedy with underlying despair but noted a shift towards “overwrought sentimentality” that conflicted with its satirical intentions.
TrackTollywood.com: The movie was acknowledged for its “authentic performances and various key emotional scenes,” but it was also critiqued for “tedious moments and superfluous parts,” leading to a sluggish narrative.
