Reception.
Thadhagath Pathi of "The Times of India" praised the narration and added that "The way Mallik connects a mathematical equation to life is hilarious and relatable. And that’s where all the logic lies!" "Pinkvilla" gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5. The critic wrote that "While the writing tries to bring out the insecurities of its characters, it doesn't quite rise above stock scenes. A beach date here, a cinema outing there. The treatment is also Gautham Menon-esque in the sense that Kittu is floored by Jasmine's beauty like a typical Menon hero."
"Film Companion"'s Sankeertana Varma cited it as "a teenage romance with all the trappings of the genre, but none of the rewards". Rajitha Chanti of "TV9 Telugu" called it a "feel good love story".
