Reception
S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald wrote "The film has all the essential elements, an item song and comedy scenes, but it lacks depth as the director tries to cram in everything and also episodes that glorify the ‘Jyeshta’".{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/dec192004/mr3.asp|date=19 December 2004|website=Deccan Herald|title=Jyeshta|access-date=26 March 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050210113933/http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/dec192004/mr3.asp|archive-date=10 February 2005|first=S.
