Release and reception

The film was originally scheduled for release in the first week of October 2013, but was postponed due to political unrest in Andhra Pradesh and finally released on 8 November 2013.

A critic from The Times of India rated the film 1.5/5 stars and wrote, "It’s a tediously trashy film that falls short of being an assault on your senses. Everything about the movie is so sloppy that, five minutes into the movie you realise this one’s going to be a pain".
