Vivek M. V., reviewing for [[The Hindu]], stated that "Thothapuri: Chapter 2" redeems the series with a more mature storytelling approach, deeper character exploration, and tackling the conflict with a fresh character introduced by Dhananjaya. The film courageously addresses issues of religion and caste versus love and unity while maintaining candid conversations about sensitive topics like alcohol and sex. Prasad's potential to create impactful films is evident, provided he diversifies his storytelling beyond a single template.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2022-09-30 |title=‘Thothapuri: Chapter 2’ movie review: A less preachy, more controlled expansion on an important theme|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/thothapuri-chapter-2-movie-review-a-less-preachy-more-controlled-expansion-on-an-important-theme/article67356934.ece|access-date=2023-09-30 |website=thehindu}}</ref><br />

Bharat Times reviewed "Thothapuri: Chapter 2" and found it to demonstrate an improved approach compared to its predecessor, offering a more balanced and less preachy take on its important theme. Director Vijay Prasad refines his storytelling by toning down the adult humor, becoming more of a storyteller, and delving deeper into character development. The film retains its focus on inclusivity but manages to avoid excessive lecturing, although it occasionally struggles with misplaced innuendos. Prasad's strength lies in portraying everyday people and challenging societal biases, making him a filmmaker unafraid to explore complex themes such as a Hindu-Muslim love story in contemporary times, as long as he diversifies his storytelling approach.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2022-09-30 |title=‘Thothapuri: Chapter 2’ movie review: A less preachy, more controlled expansion on an important theme|url=https://news.bharattimes.co.in/thothapuri-chapter-2-movie-review-a-less-preachy-more-controlled-expansion-on-an-important-theme/|access-date=2023-09-30 |website=news.bharattimes.co.in}}</ref><br />
