== Reception ==
A critic from ''[[Zamin Ryot]]'' praised the work of the cast and the crew and wrote that "the result of Rajaskhar's first attempt as a director is appreciable".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.zaminryot.com/pdf/2000/Dec/22-Dec-2000.pdf|title=సరదాల 'అంకుల్' బాగునాడు|work=[[Zamin Ryot]]|last=Rao|first=Giddalur Gopala|language=te|pages=9, 11}}</ref> A critic from ''Full Hyderabad'' wrote that "There is nothing to brag about in it, neither the songs nor the direction. It is another of those run-of-the-mill kind of films with the ''masala'' mix. The mix may be interesting only to people who get a kick out of sentimental dramas".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/uncle/telugu/uncle-movie-reviews-349-2.html|title=Uncle Review|work=Full Hyderabad|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20120815022430/https://movies.fullhyderabad.com/uncle/telugu/uncle-movie-reviews-349-2.html|archive-date=15 August 2012}}</ref>

== Box office ==
The film was a box office failure and AVS lost {{INRConvert|5000000}}. AVS attributed to the film's failure to Tarun's lack of image and felt that this film could not support the image that was created by the release of ''[[Nuvve Kavali]]''. The film was reportedly negatively received by Tarun's parents while [[Chiranjeevi]] clapped for the film.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tv5news.in/cinema/comedian-avs-open-up-on-tarun-uncle-movie-flop-804650?infinitescroll=1|title=AVS : తరుణ్ ఫ్యామిలీ మెంబర్స్ అలా మాట్లాడడం బాధనిపించిందని అప్పట్లోనే చెప్పిన ఏవీఎస్|work=[[TV5 (Telugu)|TV5]]|language=te}}</ref>
