== Reception ==
[[The Times of India]] gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "It's Akhil who steadies this rocky ship, while composer Thaman remains the unsung hero of the film for its terrific music score. Be it energy, melody or a sense of calm, Thaman's music is a perfect anchor to the film's story. Mr Majnu may not be as heartwarming as Tholi Prema, but has every element in it to make for an engaging watch at the cinemas".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/mr-majnu/movie-review/67685347.cms |title=MR MAJNU MOVIE REVIEW. |website=TimesofIndia}}</ref>
