The film opened to mixed reviews upon release in August 2015, with a critic from The Hindu labelling it as "backward" and criticizing the theme of portraying people with dark skin tones as inferior.^[8] Likewise, the critic from the Times of India noted the film is "funny for all the wrong reasons".^[9] A reviewer from the Deccan Chronicle gave a more favourable report, citing "the director has made a good attempt with a novel idea and even sends out a strong message", but "where he errs is in its execution" and adds had "he concentrated on an interesting screenplay with few more meaningful dialogues, the film would have been an engaging fare".^[10]
