Reception edit
Upon release, the first season was an instant hit garnering more than 158 million (15.8 crore) views combined.[6] Karthik Keramulu of Film Companion quoted it as the "Baahubali of Telugu YouTube" but criticized the performance of Shanmukh and stated "Plus, the main problem with Shanmukh, as an actor, is that he’s not convincing enough. To put it mildly, he needs acting classes.".[7]
