Reception
NTV Telugu rated the series 2.75 out of 5, describing it as an engaging courtroom thriller that avoids the loud confrontations typical of commercial Telugu cinema in favour of a more realistic approach. The review praised Srikanth's restrained performance and the production values, but found the reasoning behind Parashuram's years-long withdrawal from the courtroom underdeveloped and the antagonist underwritten, and called the ending somewhat predictable.[4]
Writing for HMTV, G. Krishna described the series as gripping in its opening episodes but said its momentum faded by the end, leaving it as an average drama overall. The review praised Srikanth's performance as composed and emotionally grounded, and Snehal Kamat's turn as Sameera, but found the scenes written for Mukesh Rishi's antagonist underwhelming and said the series did not sustain suspense through to its conclusion. It also noted the background score, particularly the title music, as an effective element of the production.[5]
