Reception

Critical reception

Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave the film a 3 out of 5 stating, "Janaka Aithe Ganaka had the potential to be a witty commentary on the societal pressures of parenthood but falls short of delivering on that promise. Performances by the cast, especially Suhas and Vennela Kishore, provide much-needed relief, saving the film from its underwhelming courtroom sequences. If you’re looking for light-hearted entertainment, the film does offer a few laughs, but it’s best to temper your expectations. While the concept is interesting, the execution leaves much to be desired. [2] Srivathsan Nadadhur [7] of The Hindu gave a mixed review stating, "If handled well, Janaka Aithe Ganaka could have been a conversation starter on several pertinent issues — the idea of not having children, the stigma around condom usage and misleading advertisements. For now, it is just another missed opportunity." [3] Rambabu Parvathaneni of Cinejosh gave a 2.5 out of 5 stating, "Altogether Janaka Aithe Ganaka takes a bold point but fizzles out in the end. Suhas played the role with ease and director Sandeep Reddy Bandla did an okayish job. Little fine-tuning of script and doing away with redundancy would have helped the film. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a  2.5 rating for Janaka Aithe Ganaka." [4] M9 gave a 2.5 out of 5 stating, "Overall, Janaka Aithe Ganaka comes with a relatable plot that resonates with the middle-class segment. Entertainment has the desired effect, in a familiar setting. If fun at cinemas is the only requirement, try it for its silly entertainment. [5]
