Performances
Director Meher Ramesh has done a fair job. He successfully presented Junior NTR in a new look. NTR's performance is very good. His new look, dances and dialogues are good. Twist in the climax, first half, dialogues and NTR are the highlights of the movie, while the remaining film is routine. Hansika looks good in this film. Tanisha's has no significant role. Prakash Raj’s role is routine. Comedy by Dharmavarapu and Krishna Baghavan is good.

Overall its a must watch movie for NTR fans while an average movie for others.
