Reception

The film is rated 1.5 stars out of 5 by The Times of India movies review. [1] The review comments state - "All through the movie, you have Alexander mouthing dialogues to make him look and sound bigger than he is". The AP Herald review states - "Komal Jha is the heroine of this film who comes and goes out of the film at her will. She looked good in the songs, the director should have given more scope to her role" and added that "Both technically and musically the film is appallingly low on quality and the director has also failed in generating any interest through his narration in the film". [3]

A critic from 123telugu wrote that "On the whole, Eduruleni Alexander is a very poor action drama with a high dose of vulgarity. Tarakratna has to select some decent scripts if he wants to make a successful comeback". [4]
