Reception
Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Debutant director Ram Jagadeesh punches well above his weight, delivering a film that is both deeply moving and socially relevant. Court: State vs A Nobody is not just a courtroom drama—it is a slice-of-life portrayal of human emotions, societal biases, and the pursuit of justice." [15] Avad Mohammad of OTTplay gave the film three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "a gripping courtroom drama with outstanding performances, a strong message, and powerful emotions. Though the film starts slow, once it reaches the conflict point, there is hardly a dull moment." [16]
Satya Pulagam of ABP Desam rated the film three out of five stars. [17] Jalapathy Gudelli of Telugucinema.com gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "a fairly engaging courtroom drama that sparks reflection on societal and judicial issues. Despite a sluggish first half and some narrative conveniences, strong performances—particularly from Priyadarshi and Shivaji—and a well-executed second half make it a worthwhile watch." [18]
Sanjay Ponnappa of India Today gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Presented by Telugu star Nani, this courtroom drama steadily captures the audience's attention before entering the court to make an emotional case, but falls short when it comes to making the case compelling and smart." [19] Sashidhar Adivi of Times Now gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Overall, Court–State vs. A Nobody is a decent courtroom drama in Telugu cinema and will appeal to its target audience. The emotional depth, narrative style, and social message make it a one-time watch despite shortcomings." [20]
G. Gowtham of India Herald wrote, "With the background score giving emotional depth, the second half—especially the courtroom scenes—stands out. On the other hand, a superb cast is underutilized in the movie, and the first half drags with repetitious situations. This type of courtroom drama is uncommon, though, and it is worth seeing." [21] B. H. Harsh of Cinema Express wrote, "Debutant filmmaker Ram Jagadeesh shows a lot of promise in his debut, handling a familiar concept with impressive control and freshness". [22]
