Production
A childhood scene regarding Mumaith Khan's character was shot in Tamil Nadu.[2] She also plays a snake, and the people from the village think that her character is a devadasi.[2]
The music is composed by S. A. Rajkumar.[4] The film features a remix of "Ragulutondi" from Khaidi (1983) and also reuses archival footage from the said film.[5]
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "[i]t is for the people who still want to see bhakti cinemas made on snakes".[6] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "The story itself is pretty old-fashioned and sans logic".[5]
