The film initially released without a title with the director stating that he would rename the film in fifteen days after the release based on the audience's opinion.[3]

A critic from Zamin Ryot wrote that "Despite the name, the film is great!"[4] Andhra Today wrote "The most important part of a suspense movie is narration of the story and the director used all his skills to sustain the storyline and the suspense. The comedy track, though irrelevant, serves to ease the tension. The film has all the nine emotions, all of which are portrayed excellently by the director. Histrionicswise everyone did exceedingly well".[5]
