Reception

edit

A critic from Chitraloka.com wrote that "Firstly he has failed miserably in putting the spicy Dosa correctly on the pan and while serving it to the customers (audience in this case) he has forgot to give the well prepared".[3] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "The story is also the reason why people who have shined in Kashi films so far are dull here. Apart from the fact that Shruti acted beautifully, there is nothing special about the film".[4]
