Reception[edit]

Citing it as "unintentionally hilarious film", Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote that "How much of Konda is real is a debate for another time. As a film, it takes a lot of patience to sit through it".[10] The Times of India gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and felt that Konda is "a typical RGV offering". The critic further stated: "the director used the street theatre-style screenplay for narrating and delivering message-oriented scenes, a sort-after medium used by yesteryear revolutionaries to awaken the masses".[11] NTV's Naresh Kota praised the performance of Adith Arun (aka Trigun), while criticizing the writing, direction and music composition of the film.[12]
