Reception[edit | edit source]
Sravan Vanaparthy, writing for Times of India gave the film two stars out of five and felt that the first half was rather slow. He criticized the screenplay and editing as he wrote, "The screenplay and choppy editing are a let-down." He opined that the performance of actors and background music was just okay. Vanaparthy concluded the review by calling "The story of Ichata Vahanamulu Nilupa Radu has potential that’s left unexplored. This one’s a difficult one to sit through."[10] Y Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu criticized the film for its writing. She didn't like the characterization and wrote, "There are several characters in the film, many of them with dramatic entries, but their actions lack intensity or impact." Chowdhary wrote that Sunil and Vennela Kishore made her smile but for the lead cast, she said, "This isn’t the best we’ve seen from Sushanth and Meenakshi has a long way to go in terms of acting."[11]
Sarah Justin reviewing for Sakshi Post rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Sushanth has experimented with this film. However, the script lacks the punch required to elevate him as the hero. Can be watched for timepass."[12]
