Reception

The Times of India gave a review of rating 3.5/5 stating "Your hero does not have a six-pack, nor does he make a grand entry. Your heroine is not the glamorous type and there's no skin show. There's no chasing of villains and beating them to pulp. There's no star cast to boast of, but "Ee Rojullo" is a film that you would enjoy with the comedy being seamlessly woven into the script." [2] greatandhra.com gave a review of rating 3.25/5 stating "This is the film that entertained the targeted audience perfectly. On the other hand economically, this is the wisest move. But it appeared no where that the film was made with low budget. Watch it if your heart is youthful." [3] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review stating "Ee Rojullo is a decent film made on a small budget but still boasts of good production values. The film is targeted at the youth and they would connect with the film in a big way. The film, however, may not appeal much to the family audiences. Still, Ee Rojullo is a decent, interesting as well as entertaining film." [4] idlebrain.com gave a review of rating 3.25/5 stating "First half of the film is fun and second half has story. The plus points of the film are freshness and contemporary feel. The second half should have been more compact and the obscene dialogues/gestures should have been moderated. This film might not find a place for the people who may find certain dialogues and references to be offensive. But will go well with youth and masses. You may watch it." [5] Rediff.com gave a review of rating 2/5 stating "Perhaps a youthful subject like Ee Rojullo may go down well with urban youngsters."
