Reception[]
Critical reception[]
Griddaluru Gopalrao writing for Zamin Ryot on 27 October 1978 opined that the film was cut off from reality, and would remain as "an old coin which is no longer a legal tender." He added that the screenplay by Dasari and soundtrack composed by Raghavulu are forgettable.[1]
Box office[]
The film was a blockbuster and grossed ₹75 lakh (US$100,000) which is a high amount then. Katakataala Rudraiah and Mana Voori Pandavulu were released within a gap of 10 days and both the films became blockbusters.[2]
