Production

Uday Kiran debuted with the Hinglish film Mysterious Girl, which was produced on a low budget. The film fared poorly at the box office as the film had trouble finding buyers.[1] The film began production after the successful film Hyderabad Blues and the entire cast was from Hyderabad.[2] In 2002, the producers of the film wanted to release the film after Uday Kiran became famous, but the latter prevented the film from being released by intervening with the Indian Producers Council.[3] Kiran was not paid for acting in the film.[1]

Release

The film went unnoticed at the Hyderabad box office.[2]

Christopher Domingo of Full Hyderabad wrote that "The movie crawls at a snail's pace towards oblivion. Stone-faced expressions and poor dialogue delivery are just a couple of the faults in this excuse of a film. Absolutely nothing can be said about the direction, as there is none".[2]
