Reception[edit | edit source]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "Raghava is a badly made film with uninspiring story and direction".[2] Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "The film, with a focus on the faction fights in Rayalaseema, is rather disappointing".[3]

A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "The film is nothing but an unabashed excuse to make money using what Tollywood considers the flavor of the season".[4] Griddaluru Gopalrao of Zamin Ryot also a gave a negative review for the film, writing the film had a poor storyline and the director failed to handle the film's conflict properly.[5]
