== Reception ==
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that: "''Nootokka''… is well intentioned and handles issues with sensitivity. But it doesn’t have the spark with which Avasarala wrote ''[[Oohalu Gusagusalade]]'' and ''[[Jyo Achyutananda|Jo Atchyutananda]]''." Dundoo appreciated the performances of Avasarala, Sharma and Rohini, and opined that the latter was capable of making a difference in crucial scenes.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Dundoo|first=Sangeetha Devi|date=2021-09-03|title='101 Jillala Andagadu' movie review: Hairy tales of confidence|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/101-jillala-andagadu-movie-review-the-social-comedy-on-male-pattern-baldness-entertains-in-parts/article36269151.ece|issn=0971-751X|access-date=3 September 2021|archive-date=3 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210903130956/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/101-jillala-andagadu-movie-review-the-social-comedy-on-male-pattern-baldness-entertains-in-parts/article36269151.ece|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[The Times of India]]'' critic Sravan Vanaparthy rated the film 3/5 and wrote: "Nootokka Jillala Andagadu is a popcorn entertainer with a message to convey about body shaming."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vanaparthy|first=Sravan|date=3 September 2021|title=Nootokka Zillala Andagaadu Movie Review : Fun entertainer with a predictable story|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/nootokka-zillala-andagaadu/movie-review/85894277.cms|website=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=3 September 2021|archive-date=3 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210903131000/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/nootokka-zillala-andagaadu/movie-review/85894277.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

Anji Shetty of [[Sakshi (newspaper)|''Sakshi'']] praised the performances of Avasarala and Sharma, and opined that humour and emotions were main drivers of the film.
