Release and reception

The film was initially scheduled to release in mid-July. [1]

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five and wrote that "The entertainment value this film provides can compensate the fallibility in the second half. On a whole, this film is passable". [6] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Which a title like Good Boy, corny or tacky puns in reviews are inevitable. But the truth matter is Good Boy is anything but that. Not at all good. Of course, it is for boys with plenty of skin show by the heroine". [7] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "'If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all,' goes a popular line. That’s all very fine, but if the coiner of this adage had gone to watch Good Boy, he would be yapping like a granny who’s popped back from her grave". [8]
