=== Critical reception ===<br />
Griddaluru Gopalrao writing for ''Zamin Ryot'' on 27 October 1978 opined that the film was cut off from reality, and would remain as "an old coin which is no longer a legal tender." He added that the screenplay by Dasari and soundtrack composed by Raghavulu are forgettable.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Griddaluru|first=Gopalrao|date=27 October 1978|title=వాస్తవానికి దూరం - చెల్లని పాత నాణెం : కటకటాల రుద్రయ్య|language=te|page=9|work=Zamin Ryot|url=http://www.zaminryot.com/pdf/1978/Oct/27-oct-1978.pdf|url-status=live|access-date=6 October 2020|archive-date=13 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160913160246/http://zaminryot.com/pdf/1978/Oct/27-oct-1978.pdf}}</ref><br />
