Reception
Srikanth Srinivasa of Deccan Herald wrote that "This film would definitely put critics in a spot, and leave them wondering whether to laugh or cry over the quality of such Kannada films churned out by Gandhinagar. After the success of Hallo Yama, our film-makers seem to have reached Yamaloka, going by the quality of films they are churning out".{{Cite web|url=http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/art.nsf/%28docid%29/B1B03240AE8F5FF6652569400062A3E6?OpenDocumentn|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080312215349/http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/B1B03240AE8F5FF6652569400062A3E6?OpenDocument|title=Reviews - Deccan Herald|archive-date=12 March 2008|date=20 December 1998|last=Srinivasa|first=Srikanth|website=Deccan Herald}}
