Release and reception

Honeymoon Express was released on 21 June 2024. [5]

123telugu gave a rating of 2 out of 5 and stated that "Honeymoon Express is an underwhelming ordeal from start to finish. The performances of both young and veteran actors are quite bad, and even the technical aspects are appalling. Kalyani Malik’s music is the only silver lining in this movie". [6] Sasidhar Adivi of Times Now gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stated "it has some engaging moments but is frivolous at the same time", while praising performances of Chaitanya and Hebah. [7]
