==Reception==
Bhavana Sharma of [[Deccan Chronicle]] gave the film 2.5/5 stars and stated that "''Bootcut Balaraju'' presents a love story with moments of brilliance. Sohel's performance and the humor elevate the film. However, occasional narration lags and uninspiring sequences may impact some viewers. Despite these aspects, it carves a niche as a love story with moments of endearment."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/movie-review/bootcut-balaraju-a-heartwarming-love-tale-with-moments-of-brilliance-880905 | title=Bootcut Balaraju: A Heartwarming Love Tale with Moments of Brilliance | website=[[Deccan Chronicle]] | date=3 February 2024 | access-date=4 February 2024 | archive-date=4 February 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240204105513/https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/movie-review/bootcut-balaraju-a-heartwarming-love-tale-with-moments-of-brilliance-880905 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Raisa Nasreen of ''[[Times Now]]'' gave the film 3/5 stars and stated that "Sohel brings a carefree charm to his role as a rural, academically disinterested youth facing ridicule. The film promises a mix of laughter and fun moments as it explores the highs and lows of his family and love life."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/reviews/telugu/bootcut-balaraju-movie-review-syed-sohel-ryans-film-promises-a-hearty-dose-of-laughter-review-107333032 | title=Bootcut Balaraju Movie Review: Syed Sohel Ryan's Film Promises a Hearty Dose of Laughter | website=[[Times Now]] | date=2 February 2024 | access-date=3 February 2024 | archive-date=3 February 2024 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240203064120/https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment-news/reviews/telugu/bootcut-balaraju-movie-review-syed-sohel-ryans-film-promises-a-hearty-dose-of-laughter-review-107333032 | url-status=live }}</ref>
