Shyamprasad from Chitraloka gave 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "a heartwarming and captivating film that strikes a perfect balance between entertainment and emotional depth".
Vivek M. V. of The Hindu wrote "Kousalya Supraja Rama is thoroughly watchable because the writing is mostly focused on the film’s central theme. An important subject has been dealt with sensitivity."[7] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express wrote "The cinema breaks away from the typical style, presenting a fresh and unique storyline. In an industry frequently criticised for promoting male chauvinism, the director takes a distinctive perspective by portraying the idea of a 'real man' from a woman’s viewpoint."[8]
