A critic from wrote “You may call it a fantasy or just a hilarious movie. In just one sentence is a pure entertainment movie where glitz and glamour are the main ingredients”. A critic from wrote “The film , is one of the high budgeted films, that Sandalwood has ever seen. Apart from this it has brilliant performances from Upendra and Ananthnag. Not to forget the monkey. Exotic locales. And the list goes on … Yet the movie has fails to make a mark”. A critic from wrote “There are only two things deserve a mention – dialogs of the monkey Seenu (hired from Chenai) that makes you really laugh and exotic locations. Some of them really remind Hollywood movies. With a combination of good professionals like Upendra, Ramu and Dinesh Babu, it could have been a far superior film. Its hi-time for Upendra to come out of his usual style”. A critic from wrote “Mr Ramu the proud producer of Kannada filmdom – you have given a lavish film without working on the script and scintillating elements. Dinesh Baboo and Upendra should stop enjoying their ideas at the cost of others money. This film is more a travelogue than narrating a story with artistes”. Reviewing the Telugu dubbed version, wrote “The story never matches the technical aspect of the film. The entire drama looks like circus farce. And the subject hinges to the single point of Surendra always doubting Manisha’s relations with his brother Upendra. Upendra as Upendra is the best part of the drama, while the rest of the characters look silly. Anant Nag plays a pitiable character of the scientist. Music is uninspiring”. Jeevi of wrote ” is a boring film with unimpressive script. You can safely avoid it, even when you get a chance to watch it for free on your idiot box”. A critic from wrote “The movie is essentially for three kinds of audiences: fans of Upendra, fans of the monkey and fans of filmi experiments. Technically, it all boils down to the same but you can watch Hollywood if you belong to any of these categories”. did not have a good opening at the box office across and set the box office on average during its initial weeks, but the film received just mixed response among the audience. The film collected (US$4.5 million) at the box office after completing a 75-day run.</p>
