Reception
[edit]Full Hyderabad wrote "These folks apparantly spent a couple of crores to give some gloss to the film. On hindsight, it proves to be a waste of precious money. The comedy is stupid, and the performances of other actors leave a lot to be desired. Sri Sreemati Satyabhama is bad. If you don't want to waste your valuable time, keep far away from the theaters".[6] Andhra Online wrote "Vjaya Santhi has done her bit but the treatment of the story and plot by the director leaves one dazed and absolutely no scope for Vijaya Shanthi to display even a little bit of her vast talent. Music score by S.V.Krishna Reddy also does not score any points. The dialogues are very weak. The title of the film does not carry any meaning. If the director thinks that the title is a brilliant product of a brain-storm, we can only sympathise with him. The title 'Director's dilemma' is arguably more appropriate".[7] Andhra Today wrote "S V Krishna Reddy truly tests the patience of the audience. Underestimation of the audience, meaningless story, illogical scenes and cheap comedy contribute towards making this movie a flop".[8]
