Reception

Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "#Bro is a feel-good movie that falters between being breezy and a tad bit melodramatic." [5] Siby Jeyya of the India Herald gave the film a mixed review, stating, "Even though this is a predictable family melodrama, this might be a feel good movie to catch up on this weekend!" [6]

Srivathsan Nadadhur of OTTplay gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Naveen Chandra and Devi Prasad hold fort with assuring performances that help us look beyond the jerky screenplay. A subtler performance from Avika Gor could've done the trick." [7] Pavani of Telugu Film Nagar gave a review, stating, "It is an emotional, feel-good entertainer, and it shows the emotional bonding between the siblings." [8]

Manjima Das of Leisure Byte gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "#BRO movie is a different style of film for the Telegu OTT space, but given the fact that it is the remake that has happened multiple times over different languages, it loses its charm." [9]
