Release[]
The film released on 4 November, coinciding with Diwali.[1] Unlike the original, the film was a box office failure, but did not lose money due to the film's shoestring budget.[10][11][1]
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu compared the film with Tagore.[3] Jeevi of Idlebrain said that "The plus points are music and modern taking. Minus points are predictability in story and no surprise/shocking elements".[1] Full Hyderabad wrote that "Jassie Gift's music is the only point of the movie worth sitting up for".[7]
