Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "If you are expecting some of the magic of the vintage Dorai-Bhagwan films, this might not really live up to the expectations. But if you want some soppy emotions and retro style filmmaking, you might like parts of it."[6]Vijaya Karnataka scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Traveler Vijay has done well in emotional situations. Shivrajkumar, Puneeth, Raghavendra Rajkumar and Vijaya Raghavendra have sung for the first time in a single film. Those who like retro style cinema can watch cinema."[7]
