Reception[edit]
Idlebrain wrote "Plus points of the movie are interesting screenplay and entertainment in the second half. On the flip side, The director couldn’t get it right in the first half and climax. On a whole, Vastadu Naa Raju is a decent entertainer with commercial elements packed in it."[2] 123Telugu wrote "Vasthaadu Naa Raju is a decent entertainer which traverses through love, action, sentiment and comedy. It’s predictable for most part but then a good effort on the whole".[3]
