==Reception==
The movie opened to negative reviews. Haricharan Pudupeddi of ''DNA India'' gave a review stating "''Vennela {{frac|1|1|2}}'' is loathsome with the senseless 'bathroom humour' that runs throughout the film. ''Vennela {{frac|1|1|2}}'' is one of the worst comedy films of recent times."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-vennela-1-1-2-telugu-is-loathsome_1744027|title=Review: ''Vennela 1 1/2'' (Telugu) is loathsome|publisher=DNA India|access-date=22 September 2012|archive-date=25 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925061256/http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-vennela-1-1-2-telugu-is-loathsome_1744027|url-status=live}}</ref> IBN Live stated "After watching the trailers, most of us did not expect anything more from ''Vennela {{frac|1|1|2}}'' than low brow comedy. What came as a surprise was that the film did not pack a sensible story that might have made us sit through the haranguing second half."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/telugu-review-vennela-1-12-is-disappointing/293860-71-218.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120924032544/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/telugu-review-vennela-1-12-is-disappointing/293860-71-218.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 September 2012|title=Telugu Review: ''Vennela 1 1/2'' is disappointing|publisher=ibnlive.in|access-date=21 September 2012  }}</ref> ''The Times Of India'' gave a review stating "The performances vary from loony to queer. It would be unfair to call it acting. What the characters just indulge in is absolute tom-foolery of degenerated variety. Chaitanya has a presence, but really has nothing much to do as does Monal. Let's just say, the other departments are in tune with the rest of the film."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articlelist/movie-review/16489204.cms|title=''Vennela 1 1/2'' movie review: Wallpaper, Story, Trailer at Times of India|work=The Times Of India|access-date=21 September 2012|archive-date=16 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316043809/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articlelist/movie-review/16489204.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> ''The Hindu'' gave a review stating "From the Kya Kool Hai Hum clan of film-making, it tries to be like ''American Pie'', but fails miserably. It's just a mindless excuse for a film, filling up the 70 mm. The film is not for those looking for cinema, but for those with raging hormones, looking for a cheap laugh."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/vennela-one-and-half-for-cheap-thrills/article3926372.ece|title=''Vennela One and Half'': For cheap thrills|work=The Hindu|access-date=22 September 2012|archive-date=26 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120926020146/http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/vennela-one-and-half-for-cheap-thrills/article3926372.ece|url-status=live}}</ref>
