The Hindu called it an easy watch for children and adults carried by Fahadh Faasil and Ssara Palekar, held back by dull stretches and repetitive magic sequences. The Times of India gave it 3/5, praising the situational comedy of the first half and the lead performances while finding the second half weaker and the climax prolonged. Hindustan Times reported that Jr NTR called it a must-watch and praised Ssara Palekar.
