Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "Chaitanya Danthuluri is a promising filmmaker and takes up a potential subject, but falls short in making it a well-made film". [4] A critic from 123telugu rated the film two-and-three quarters out of five and wrote that "‘Basanti’ comes across as a flawed execution of a good plot. The movie could have been so much better, but poor emotional quotient and low entertainment levels fail to engage the viewers". [5] A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The film has a much more purpose than entertainment. It inspires one not to give in to a situation but rise above it, even if it means facing a risk". [6] A critic from The Hans India rated the film three out of five and wrote that "Director Chaitanya after Banam has yet again created another good movie. The plot and narration of the story are excellent. Though the lead role players are not very matured, even then they have strived to deliver their best performance". [7]
