A user wrote, "Rajeev Khandelwal ( as Venky's doctor) ace their parts and give a sense of colour to a monotone palette which in the pre-interval film featured only a few people with Venky and Sujata as the highlight."

Another mentioned, "A heart-rending saga of a mother who battles all odds with a smile to keep up with her charming but terminally ill son Venky who is suffering from life degenerating disease - DMD. Based on a real-life story, watch it with a hanky in your hand!"

The third user mentioned, "The banter between a doctor and his patient is just too cute and refreshing. Also, if I get a doctor like Shekar, I would be always in the hospital only. (:p) Nevertheless, Rajeev does a fair job in the movie."
