Reception
A critic from Sify wrote that "Director E. Srinivas has faithfully adapted the original version and he has given us a stunning climax with a finesse not seen in usual Telugu cinema. Patnaik has given an extraordinarily detailed performance after doing a lot of homework. The actor has worked hard, moving one to tears, with his facial expression and body language".[5] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "A WELL made film, which compellingly mirrors the helplessness and the subtle emotions of the visually impaired. It touches a chord somewhere within you, beseeching you to care for their travails and trauma and the pathos comes through deep and strong on the screen, impacting the viewer to mull on the subject".[6]
