Reception

The movie received mixed to positive reviews from the critics.

Sarvepalli Bhavana from Times Now gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, and stated, "Ground breaks away from the conventions of mainstream Telugu cinema, presenting a refreshingly natural narrative. Shot with natural lighting and minimal resources, the film exudes authenticity, a departure from the formulaic approach of mainstream cinema." [6]

Suresh Rachamalla of News18 gave 2.75 stars out of 5 and verdicted, "Each character feels important in the story, and with new actors the storyline felt fresh. But the story has some lag scenes." [3]

Nelki Naresh Kumar of Hindustan Times gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and said, "The movie took too much time to introduce the characters, and the comedy did not evoke much laughter. But the newcomers Hari and Tejaswini acted well in their roles. Bhaskar's music and Jaheer's cinematography complemented director Suraj's fresh attempt." [1]

A critic of 10TV gave a positive review to the film and stated, "The entire movie is shot either in the ground or in the locations nearby to the ground. There have been cricket based movies earlier, but this movie is different from them." [7]
