Reception

Critical response

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote, "Changure Bangaru Raja begins well but squanders its potential to be a quirky, madcap crime comedy. The performances and some of the humour save the day". [5] A reviewer of Eenadu wrote, "Goltinissi in the role of Constable Mangaratnam, Vityashi as Satya's love interest and Esther in the role of Ravibabu's mind-stealing boon. Ajay's role as Esse lacks strength. Among the technical categories, the camera department gets good marks". [6] Srivathsan Nadadhur from OTT Play said, "Changure Bangaru Raja is a largely impressive, partly inconsistent crime comedy with superb humour and fine performances. Debutant Satish Varma displays a good flair for comedy, writes quirky characters and establishes the rural backdrop with earnestness. With a better final act, it would’ve been a wholly fulfilling experience". [7] Saket Reddy Eleti from ABP Majha wrote, "Overall... there is no need to go to the theaters for some comedy scenes. You can watch it when it comes to OTT". [8]
