==Production==
[[Sumanth Ashwin]], son of director and producer M. S. Raju, is being introduced with the film. The title is inspired by the Telugu song 'Tunnega Tuneega' from the film ''[[Manasantha Nuvve]]'', which was also produced by M. S. Raju. Reports of Sumanth's debut were afloat since 2007 in the media. M. S. Raju confirmed that he considered Sumanth for the lead role in ''[[Vaana (film)|Vaana]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cinefundas.com/2008/02/11/vaana-telugu-movie-review |title=Vaana - Telugu movie review |work=Cinefundas |access-date=2012-07-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110318133813/http://www.cinefundas.com/2008/02/11/vaana-telugu-movie-review |archive-date=18 March 2011 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> But M.

==Critical reception==
''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film two-and-a-half stars out of five, and stated that "The film just doesn't come together visually. It lacks the freshness and feel of a new film. The lack of novelty across the board proves to be its undoing."<ref>{{Citation|title=Tuneega Tuneega Movie Review {2.5/5}: Critic Review of Tuneega Tuneega by Times of India|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/tuneega-tuneega/movie-review/15055341.cms|access-date=2020-09-01}}{{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref> Vishnupriya Bhandaram of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote that "Good stories are easy to understand but in Tuneega Tuneega, confusion reigns over the story and the screenplay and a lack of connect with the characters would perhaps be the most natural of reactions."<ref>{{Cite news|last=Bhandaram|first=Vishnupriya|date=2012-07-21|title=Tuneega Tuneega: Sincerity gone amiss|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/Tuneega-Tuneega-Sincerity-gone-amiss/article12642809.ece|access-date=2020-09-01|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>
