Release

The film was released on 25 May 1989. It was released when the cold war between Krishna and actor-politician and the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, NTR, reached its peak.[2] The film emphasised on how NTR might have played a role in the brutal murder of the then rising political leader Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga as alleged by a few newspapers and the latter's political party at that time. Hence, the film garnered generally mixed reviews. Nevertheless, the film turned out to be a money spinner at the box office and ended up as a commercially safe venture. The film had a direct run of 50 days in a few centres, with 4 of them being from the Ceded region which was surprisingly high for a Krishna film and 100 days run in Guntur.[3]
